What is the dimensional formula of escape velocity?
Escape velocity:
The lowest velocity required for a moving body is just to leave the gravitational field of such a celestial body and go outward towards space.
Formula:
Here,
Ve is the escape velocity.
M is the mass of the earth (kg).
r is the distance to the center of the earth (meters).
G is a universal gravitational constant.
Dimensional formula:
We know,
Dimensional formula of Universal gravitational constant:
Dimensional formula of distance to the center of the earth:
Dimensional formula of mass of the earth:
By substituting the formula in the above equation,
By using the law of algorithm ,
By taking the square root, we get
Therefore, the dimensional formula of escape velocity will be .
