Escape Velocity – when energy is zero

kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy of an object is zero this speed is known as escape velocity or the speed which an object needs to get away from gravitational force is known as escape velocity.

Escape Velocity

To calculate Escape Velocity:

  • What you want to calculate

  • Planet Mass(M)

    kg

  • Planet Radius(R)

    m

  • Escape Velocity(ve)

    m/s

  •  

Formula:
Escape Velocity:


Planet Mass:


Planet Radius:


where,
G = Universal Gravitational Constant = 6.6726 x 10-11N-m2/kg2
M = Planet Mass
R = Planet Radius

kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy of an object is zero this speed is known as escape velocity or the speed which an object needs to get away from gravitational force is known as escape velocity.
