Answer» Escape velocity doesn't depend on the mass of the projectile . For a spherically symmetric, massive body such as a star, or planet, the escape velocity for that body, at a given distance, is calculated by the formula whereGis the universalgravitational constant(G≈6.67×10−11m3·kg−1·s−2),Mthe mass of the body to be escaped from, andrthe distance from thecenter of massof the body to the object.The relationship is independent of the mass of the object escaping the massive body. |
