Answer:
the escape velocity on earth is V=11.2 km/s
Explanation:
1.Escape velocity is defined as the minimum velocity required for an object to escape from the gravitational field of the planet.
2.let the mass of the object be "m"
Earth-mass be "M"
radius be "R".
3.The gravitational potential energy of the system is GMm÷R
Kinetic energy =1÷2mv ^2
4.K.E=P.E
V=√2GM÷R. Equation 1
We know g=GM÷R^2.
So g=GM. Equation2
substitute 2 in equation 1
we get V =√2gR
5.Put the values V=√2×9.8×6.4×10^6
V=11.2 km/s
