Jupiter has a mass 318 times that of earth, and its radius is 11.2 times the earth's radius Estimate the escape velocity of a body from Jupiter's surface, given that the escape velocity from the earth's surface `11.2 kms^(-1)`.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To estimate the escape velocity of a body from Jupiter's surface, we can use the relationship between escape velocity, mass, and radius. The escape velocity (v) is given by the formula: \[ v_e = \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}} \] Where: - \( G \) is the gravitational constant, - \( M \) is the mass of the planet, - \( R \) is the radius of the planet. ...
