Suppose a body of mass m is traveling vertically upward starting at the surface of the earth. If all resistance except gravity is neglected, the escape velocity υ is given by
R = 3960 miles is the radius of the earth, and g = 0.00609 mi/s2 is the force of gravity at the earth’s surface. Approximate the escape velocity υ.
