Try it yourself first

Hint: Socho, agar koi object Earth ke gravitational pull se escape karna chahta hai, toh uski initial kinetic energy aur gravitational potential energy ka sum kitna hona chahiye jab woh finally escape kar jaaye?

Step-by-step solution

  1. 1

    Problem Statement

    Define escape velocity and derive its expression from Earth's surface.
  2. 2

    Escape Velocity Definition

    Escape velocity is the minimum velocity required for an object to escape the gravitational field of a celestial body.
  3. 3

    Energy Conservation

    Apply the principle of conservation of mechanical energy.
    Einitial=EfinalE_{initial} = E_{final}
  4. 4

    Initial Energy

    Initial kinetic energy and potential energy at Earth's surface.
    Einitial=12mve2−GMmReE_{initial} = \frac{1}{2}mv_e^2 - \frac{GMm}{R_e}
  5. 5

    Final Energy

    Final kinetic and potential energy at infinity (escaped).
    Efinal=0+0=0E_{final} = 0 + 0 = 0
  6. 6

    Equate Energies

    Equating initial and final energies.
    12mve2−GMmRe=0\frac{1}{2}mv_e^2 - \frac{GMm}{R_e} = 0
  7. 7

    Solve for $v_e$

    Rearrange the equation to find vev_e.
    ve=2GMRev_e = \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R_e}}
  8. 8

    Alternative Form

    Using g=GMRe2g = \frac{GM}{R_e^2}, substitute GM=gRe2GM = gR_e^2.
    ve=2gRev_e = \sqrt{2gR_e}
  9. 9

    Final Expression

    The expression for escape velocity from Earth's surface.
    ve=2GMRe=2gRev_e = \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R_e}} = \sqrt{2gR_e}

Final answer

Escape velocity is the minimum velocity required for an object to escape the gravitational field of a celestial body. The expression for escape velocity from Earth's surface is ve=2gRev_e = \sqrt{2gR_e} or ve=2GMRev_e = \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R_e}}.

Remember: Escape velocity depends on mass and radius of the celestial body.
