12. Escape Velocity To escape Earth's gravitational field, a rocket mustbe launched with an initial velocity called the escape velocity. A rocketlaunched from the surface of Earth has velocity v (in miles per second)given byV =2GMTº+ v² -2GMRwhere vo is the initial velocity, r is the distance from the rocket to thecenter of Earth, G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of Earth,and R is the radius of Earth (approximately 4000 miles).V=a. Find the value of vo for which you obtain an infinite limit for r as vapproaches zero. This value of vo is the escape velocity for Earth.192,000Tb. A rocket launched from the surface of the moon has velocity v (inmiles per second) given byV =1920T+v-48+ - 2.17.Find the escape velocity for the moon.c. A rocket launched from the surface of a planet has velocity v (inmiles per second) given by10,600T+ v² - 6.99.Find the escape velocity for this planet. Is the mass of this planetlarger or smaller than that of Earth? (Assume that the meandensity of this planet is the same as that of Earth.)
