Answer:
The minimum total speed is 11.2km/s
Explanation:
We are been asked to find the escape velocity.
Escape velocity is defined as the minimum initial velocity that will take a body(projectile)away above the surface of a planet(earth) when it's projected vertically upwards.
The formula to calculate the escape velocity is Ve = √2gR
For the earth g = 9.8m/s2 , R = 6.4*10^6
Substituting into the equation Ve = √2*9.8*6.4*10^6 = 11.2*10^3m/s
=11.2km/s
