An unmanned space probe is to be thrown with such a velocity that it does not return back to Earth. It should be thrown with:
velocity > (2GM)1/2/ R necessarily
a great velocity but nothing more can be said
velocity = (2GM)1/2/R
velocity ≥ (2GM/R)1/2
If ve and vo represent the escape velocity and orbital velocity of a satellite corresponding to a circular orbit of radius R, then
ve=vo
√2vo=ve
ve=vo√2
ve and vo are not related
