  2. Escape velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escape_velocity

    In celestial mechanics, escape velocity or escape speed is the minimum speed needed for an object to escape from contact with or orbit of a primary body, assuming: Ballistic trajectory - no other forces are acting on the object, including propulsion and friction

  3. Longevity escape velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longevity_escape_velocity

    In the life extension movement, longevity escape velocity (LEV), actuarial escape velocity[2] or biological escape velocity[3] is a hypothetical situation in which one's remaining life expectancy (not life expectancy at birth) is extended longer than the time that is passing.

  4. Escape velocity | Definition, Formula, Earth, Moon, & Facts

    www.britannica.com/science/escape-velocity

    escape velocity, in astronomy and space exploration, the velocity needed for a body to escape from a gravitational centre of attraction without undergoing any further acceleration.

  5. Escape Velocity (video game) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escape_Velocity_(video_game)

    Escape Velocity is a single-player role-playing space trading and combat video game series first introduced in 1996 by Ambrosia Software for the Macintosh. Two other similar games based on the original, EV Override and Escape Velocity Nova, followed in 1998 and 2002 respectively, the latter of which is also available on Microsoft Windows. In ...

    In celestial mechanics, escape velocity or escape speed is the minimum speed needed for an object to escape from contact with or orbit of a primary body, assuming: Ballistic trajectory - no other forces are acting on the object, including propulsion and friction

  7. Escape speed is the initial speed that something would need to completely escape the gravity of a large body, like a star or a planet (such as the Earth), by mere inertia. If a ball is thrown upwards while standing on the ground, the ball will reach a certain height (the faster thrown - the higher) and fall back down.

    Escape velocity is the minimum speed needed to escape a bodys gravity. Escape velocity is a fundamental concept in astrophysics and aerospace engineering, crucial for understanding the mechanics of space travel and celestial mechanics.

  9. Escape Velocity - Let's Talk Science

    letstalkscience.ca/educational-resources/stem-explained/escape-velocity

    This speed is called escape velocity, since it’s just enough speed to escape the gravitational pull of the Earth. But why is the escape velocity the same, no matter the mass of the object? The reason is that mass and escape velocity are not related.

    www.physicsbook.gatech.edu/Escape_Velocity

    Escape velocity is defined as the minimum velocity required for an object to escape the gravitational force of a large object. The sum of an object's kinetic energy and its gravitational potential energy is equal to zero.

    The escape velocity is the initial velocity a particle must have to escape the gravity of its parent body. Typically it refers to the initial velocity a particle must have at the surface of a planet in order to leave the planet forever, and never be pulled back by the planet's gravity.
