Question

Is escape velocity greater than orbital velocity?


Open in App
Solution

1.The following equation describes the link between escape velocity and orbital velocity:

Ve=2Vo

Where, Ve=Escapevelocity,Vo=Orbitalvelocity.

2. As a result, we may deduce that escape velocity is approximately 2 times that of orbital velocity.

Hence, escape velocity is greater than orbital velocity.
