What is the minimum speed (km/s), relative to the Sun, necessary for a spacecraft to escape the solar system if it starts at the Earth's orbit? Voyager 1 achieved a maximum speed of 125,000 km/h on its way to photograph Jupiter. Beyond what distance (m) from the Sun is this speed sufficient to escape the solar system?
