AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to determine how the escape velocity of the Earth changes when its radius is reduced by 4%, while its mass remains unchanged. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the formula for escape velocity (VE)**: The escape velocity from the surface of a celestial body is given by the formula: \[ V_E = \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}} ...
