Determine the escape velocity (minimum speed of an object/body) for planet earth.
Start from the definition of Gravitational force
GM m
F =
and Work
w= S Fdz
where G is the universal gravitational constant, Me is the mass of earth, m is the mass of the object/body, and z is the distance
between Earth and object/body (the same as the radius of earth).
You are on an espionage mission to drop a tracker from the top of a building, 40.8 m above from the ground, on your target, who is 1.30 m tall and walking at a constant speed of 1.13 m/s. If you wish to drop the tracker on your target's head, where should the target be when you release the tracker? Assume that there is no air drag. Express answers in meters.
Hint: This question involves Free Fall (step 1) and General Uniform Accelerated Motion (step 2).

- Lhte In 2012, Austrian skydiver, Felix Baumgartner, set a record for the highest exit altitude of 127 852 feet. He jumped from a helium balloon located in the Earth's stratosphere (see figure). At that altitude the atmosphere is too thin to breathe, so Baumgartner wore a special pressurized suit. During his free fall toward the earth, he reached a maximum speed of 843.6 mph, which is greater than the speed of sound. This set a record for greatest speed achieved during free fall and also set off a small sonic boom heard by his friends and family on the ground. Assume the effect of air resistance can be neglected and the acceleration due to gravity remains constant during his fall with a value of 9.807 m/s² and calculate the distance he fell before reaching 843.6 mph.
