Topic: Escape Velocity Exercises

Calculate the escape velocity required for an object to leave Earth’s gravitational field and escape into space.

Given Information

• Mass of Earth (M): $5.97 \times 10^{24}$ kg
• Radius of Earth (R): $6.37 \times 10^6$ m
• Gravitational constant (G): $6.67 \times 10^{-11}$ N·m²/kg²
