RE: Escape velocity?

in #philosophy7 years ago

Escape velocity does not depend on the mass. It is the same for all objects on the planet. It depends on the radius and gravitational acceleration.

Escape velocity v=[math”]\sqrt{2gR}[/math”]

take g=9.8 m/s, R=6400 km for Earth

You will get v=11.2 km/s

You are welcome
