Q. 7. Does the escape speed of a body from the earth depend on
(a) the mass of the body,
(b) the location from where it is projected

The escape speed can be given by the relation,

v=\sqrt{\frac{2 G M}{R}}=\sqrt{2 g R}

(a) The mass of a body has no bearing on its speed of departure from the Earth.

(b) The escape speed of a body from the Earth does not depend on the location from where a body is projected.
