The escape velocity of a body in the gravitational field of Earth is dependent on:
Answer: Mass of earth
Explanation
The escape velocity of a body in the gravitational field of Earth is primarily dependent on the mass of the Earth and the radius of the Earth.
It does not depend on the mass of the body or the angle at which it is thrown.
The formula for escape velocity 𝑣e is given by:
