Escape Speed

Escape speed is the minimum speed, which is required by the object to escape from the gravitational influence of a plannet. Escape speed for Earth’s surface is 11,186 m/sec. 

The formula for escape speed is given below:

ve = (2GM / r)1/2 

where ,

ve = Escape Velocity 

G = Universal Gravitational Constant 

M = Mass of the body to be escaped from 

r = Distance from the centre of the mass
