The escape velocity for a given spherical body, like a planet or a star, is given by the formula, in which G is the gravitational constant, r is the distance from the center of the body's mass to the object, and m is the mass of the spherical body. What is M in terms of the other variables? 2GM Ve= T The escape velocity for a given spherical body, like a planet or a star, is given by the formula, in which G is the gravitational constant, r is the distance from the center of the body's mass to the object, and m is the mass of the spherical body.
