Example of Escape Velocity
The escape velocity of Earth is approximately $11 \cdotp 2 \, \mathrm {km \, s}^{-1}$.
Proof
 | This theorem requires a proof. In particular: either use Escape Velocity in terms of Gravitational Constant or Escape Velocity of Projectile fired Upwards, and plug in the numbers You can help $\mathsf{Pr} \infty \mathsf{fWiki}$ by crafting such a proof. To discuss this page in more detail, feel free to use the talk page. When this work has been completed, you may remove this instance of {{ProofWanted}} from the code.If you would welcome a second opinion as to whether your work is correct, add a call to {{Proofread}} the page. |
