Use the conservation of energy todetermine the minimum vertical speed that anobject must have at the surface of the earth sothat its speed at infinity would be zero. Thisspeed is known as the escape speed of theearth. For this problem, you should assume thatthe gravitational interaction with the earth isthe only interaction which the object feels.
