The escape velocity on Venus is 9761 m/s
Explanation:
The escape velocity from a planet is the speed that an object on the surface of that planet must have in order to completely escape the gravitational field of the planet.
Mathematically, it is calculated as
[tex]v=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}}[/tex]
where
G is the gravitational constant
M is the mass of the planet
R is the radius of the planet
For Venus, we have:
[tex]M=4.90\cdot 10^{24}kg[/tex] is the mass
[tex]R=6.86\cdot 10^6 m[/tex] is the radius
Substituting, we find the escape velocity on Venus:
[tex]v=\sqrt{\frac{2(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(4.90\cdot 10^{24})}{6.86\cdot 10^6}}=9761 m/s[/tex]
