Question

does the following problem make any sense?

is there enough information here to solve it?

assume no air resistance. Earth's gravitational field is given by w(x) = -k/(x+R)^2 where x is distance from Earth and M is radius of Earth

also y' = y^(1/2) and y(0)=0

given this information is there enough info to calculate the Escape Velocity...

if so can you show me...else not to worry

Answer 1

Actually, we need only the gravitational force field to find the escape velocity. Please find below the solution.
