Question

You know that for any object to escape the gravitational pull of a planet, star, and so on, the object must first achieve escape velocity, or vesc. What velocity must the Veracious achieve to escape Earth

Answer 1

Answer:

11.186 * 10^3 m/s

Explanation:

For a Veracious to escape the gravitational pull of the earth it has to a attain

Vesc = $\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R} }$  -------- ( 1 )

where: G = ( gravitational constant ) = 6.674 * 10^-11 m^3 kg^-1 s^-2 )

            M = ( mass of earth) =  5.972 * 10^24 kg

            R =  ( Radius of earth ) =  6.371 * 10^6  m  

next we will Input  values into equation ( 1 )

The required Vesc that the Veracious can attain to escape the gravitational pull of the earth = 11.186 * 10^3 m/s
