If a spacecraft has to sent away from the influence of the earth's gravitational field, its velocity must be less than the escape velocity .

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The escape velocity of a body is the minimum velocity with which is should be projected from the earth's surface, so that it can escape the influence of the earth's gravitational field. This clearly shows that the given statement is false.
