Escape Velocity Calculator

Escape Velocity Calculator

Gravitational constant (G) = 6.6726 x 10-11N-m2/kg2
I want to calculate
Planet mass (M) = kg
Planet radius (R) = m
Escape velocity (ve) = m/s
 

Velocity of Escape: If an object is shot vertically upward from the surface of a planet, and the initial velocity is less than a certain value, the object will only rise a certain distance, and then the acceleration generated by the planet's gravity will eventually make it fall. If the initial velocity reaches a certain value, the object will completely escape the planet's gravitational pull and fly out of the planet. The speed required for an object to just escape the planet's gravity is called the escape velocity. The minimum speed required for an object on the surface of a celestial body to escape the gravitational pull of the celestial body and fly into space. For example, the Earth's escape velocity is 11.2 km/s (the second cosmic velocity).

Escape velocity

Escape velocity: Ve2=2GM / R

here:

G = gravitational constant = 6.6726 x 10-11N-m2/kg2

M = planet mass

R = Planet radius
