Escape velocity on an orbit is the minimum speed required for an object to break free from the gravitational pull of a larger body and enter into a stable orbit around it. It is also known as the escape speed or critical velocity.
Escape velocity is calculated using the formula: v = √(2GM/r) where v is the escape velocity, G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of the larger body, and r is the distance between the two objects.
The factors that affect escape velocity include the mass of the larger body, the distance from the center of the larger body, and the gravitational constant. Generally, the larger and more massive the body, the higher the escape velocity.
Yes, escape velocity can be achieved on Earth. It is approximately 11.2 kilometers per second or 25,000 miles per hour. This is the speed required for an object to break free from Earth's gravitational pull and enter into orbit around the planet.
If an object exceeds escape velocity, it will escape the gravitational pull of the larger body and continue on a path into outer space. This is why rockets must reach and exceed escape velocity in order to leave Earth's atmosphere and enter into space.
