How to Calculate and Solve for Escape Velocity | The Calculator Encyclopedia
Last Updated on February 17, 2024
The image above represents the escape velocity. To calculate the escape velocity of a field, two essential parameters are needed and the parameters are acceleration due to gravity (g) and radius (r).
The formula for calculating the escape velocity:
V = √(2gR)
Where;
V = Escape velocity
g = Acceleration due to gravity
R = Radius
Let’s solve an example;
Find the escape velocity of a field when the acceleration due to gravity is 12 and the radius is 24 cm.
This implies that;
g = Acceleration due to gravity = 12
r = Radius = 24 cm
V = √(2gR)
V = √(2 x 12 x 24)
So, V = √(576)
V = 24
Therefore, the escape velocity is 24 m/s.
