In physics, escape velocity is the speed where the kinetic energy of an object is equal to the magnitude of its gravitational potential energy. The Earths escape velocity is about 11.2 kilometers per...
I believe orbital velocity is about 73% of escape velocity at the same distance from the mass center of the body being orbited. Could be 71% because escape velocity divided by the square root of 2...
"Escape velocity" is a misnomer; there isn't any such thing. "Escape velocity" is the speed that it would take a projectile to escape completely from the Earth's gravity, IF IT WERE FIRED FROM THE...
