Escape Velocity Calculator:
Enter the values of Mass of the planet M(5.972 × 1024 kg), Gravitational constant G(6.674 * 10(-11) N * m2 / kg2) & Radius R(m) of the planet to determine the value of Escape Velocity ev(m/s).
Escape Velocity Formula:
The Escape Velocity ev(m/s) in meter per second is equal to the value of 2 into multiply the Mass of the planet M(5.972 × 1024 kg) in kilogram and again multiply the Gravitational constant G(6.674 * 10(-11) N * m2 / kg2) in Newton meter square per kilogram square is divided by the Radius of the planet R(m) in meter to the one-half power.
The Formula of Escape Velocity can be writtern as,
ev(m/s) = ( 2 * M(5.972 × 1024 kg) * G(6.674 * 10(-11) N * m2 / kg2) / R(m) )(0.5)
Here,
ev(m/s) = Escape Velocity in meter per second
M(5.972 × 1024 kg) = Mass of the planet in kilogram
G(6.674 * 10(-11) N * m2 / kg2) = Gravitational constant in Newton meter square per kilogram square
R(m) = Radius of the planet in meter
Calculation for Escape Velocity:
1)Determine the Escape Velocity and given for mass = 5.972 × 1024 kg , Gravitational constant = 6.674 * 10(-11) N * m2 / kg2 , Radius = 10m.
Solution
ev = ( 2 * M * G / R )(0.5)
ev = ( 2 * 5.972 × 1024 * 6.674 * 10(-11) / 10 )(0.5)
ev = 4.566e-9m/s.
2)Determine the Radius and given for mass = 5.972 × 1024 kg , Gravitational constant = 6.674 * 10(-11) N * m2 / kg2 , Escape Velocity = 4.566e-9m/s.
Solution
ev = ( 2 * M * G / R )(0.5)
4.566e-9 = ( 2 * 5.972 × 1024 * 6.674 * 10(-11) / R )(0.5)
R = 10m.
