Homework Statement
Determine the energy and change in orbital speed required for the Earth to escape from its orbit around the Sun.
Homework Equations
I guess:
Change In E = E total of o - E total of s (Egs)
E total of orbit = (0.5)Eg of oribit
The Attempt at a Solution
Don't really know how to begin with this one considering it's not something like a satellite leaving Earth's orbit but rather it's the Earth leaving the sun's orbit.
