To find the ratio of escape velocities of two planets given their gravitational accelerations and radii, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the formula for escape velocity The escape velocity \( v_e \) from the surface of a planet is given by the formula: \[ v_e = \sqrt{2gR} \] where \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity on the planet, and \( R \) is the radius of the planet. ...
