To solve the problem of calculating the time taken by a body projected vertically upward from the surface of the Earth to reach a height \( h \), we will use the principles of energy conservation and calculus. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Understand the Initial Conditions The body is projected with an escape velocity, which means it has enough kinetic energy to overcome gravitational potential energy and theoretically reach infinity. The escape velocity \( v_e \) is given by: \[ v_e = \sqrt{\frac{2GM_e}{R_e}} \] ...
