Question:
The escape velocity of an object from a planet is the minimum initial velocity required to vent this object from returning to the planet. From the conservation of mechanical pre energy, find the general formula for the escape velocity and then calculate this value for the Earth, Moon and Jupiter. Neglect air resistance.
