Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the escape speed from a planet with a mass 8 times that of Earth and a diameter 4 times that of Earth, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the formula for escape speed The escape speed \( v_e \) from a celestial body is given by the formula: \[ v_e = \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}} \] where \( G \) is the gravitational constant, \( M \) is the mass of the body, and \( R \) is its radius. ...
