Escape Velocity calculator

This CalcTown calculator calculates the escape velocity of an object from Earth, given the height it is projected from.

Height from which the Object is projected (h)

Escape Velocity

Km/s

where

R is the Radius of the Earth=6400 Km

h is the height from which the object is to be projected

g is the value of acceleration due to gravity on Earth's surface=9.80 m/s2
