Escape velocity and black holes The work required to launch an object from the surface of Earth to outer space is given by w = JEF(x) dx, where R = 6370 km is the approximate radius is the gravitational force between Earth and the object, G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of Earth, m is the mass of the object, and GM = 4 x 1014 m²/s?. GMm of Earth, F(x) = x? a. Find the work required to launch an object in terms of m. b. What escape velocity v, is required to give the object a kinetic 1 energy mv? equal to W? c. The French scientist Laplace anticipated the existence of black holes in the 18th century with the following argument: If a body has an escape velocity that equals or exceeds the speed of light, c = 300,000 km/s, then light cannot escape the body and it cannot be seen. Show that such a body has a radius Rs 2GM/c. For Earth to be a black hole, what would its radius need to be?
