Does the escape velocity of a body depend on the density of a planet ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine whether the escape velocity of a body depends on the density of a planet, we can analyze the formula for escape velocity and express it in terms of the planet's density. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Escape Velocity Formula**: The escape velocity (v) from the surface of a planet is given by the formula: \[ v = \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}} ...
