What is the escape velocity in km/s from Venus' exosphere, which begins about 168 km above the surface? Assume the gravitational constant is G = 6.67 × 10-11 m3 kg-1 s-2, and that Venus has a mass of 4.9e+24 kg and a radius of 5800.0 km.
Evidence exists that Mars may have had oceans 0.500 km deep in its early
history. We don't know what the atmospheric pressure on Mars was back then,
but some studies suggest it may have been as high as 50,000 Pa. What would
have been the highest pressure at the bottom of these oceans? Density of water
is 1000 kg/m³, gmars = 3.71 m/s².
Please give a clear and detailed solution.
