Escape velocity of the projectile on the Earth's surface, vesc = 11.2 km/s = 11.2 *103 m/s

Projection velocity of the projectile = 3 vesc

Mass of the projectile = m

Velocity of the projectile far away from the Earth = vf

Total energy of the projectile on the Earth = 12 m vp2 - 12 m vesc2

Gravitational potential energy of the proje
