Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine the factors on which the escape speed of a body from the Earth depends, we can analyze the concept of escape velocity using the principles of gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Escape Speed**: - Escape speed is defined as the minimum speed needed for an object to break free from the gravitational attraction of a celestial body (in this case, Earth) without any further propulsion. 2. **Formula for Escape Speed**: ...
