🚀 Escape Velocity Calculator
Calculate escape velocity for celestial bodies and orbital mechanics
📐 Escape Velocity Formulas
v_escape = √(2GM/R)
v_escape = √(2gR)
v_escape = √(2μ/R)
G = gravitational constant, M = mass, R = radius, g = surface gravity, μ = GM

💡 Tips & Information
- Escape velocity is independent of object mass
- Higher escape velocity = stronger gravitational field
- Escape velocity decreases with altitude
- Used for rocket launches and space missions
- Escape velocity = √2 × orbital velocity
