The radius of Jupiter is approximately 11 times larger than the earth. Jupiter has a mass 316 times that of earth. What is the approximate escape velocity of Jupiter compared to earth? Correct Answer 5 times greater

n:M = Mass of the earth R = Radius of the earth v = Escape velocity of the earth We know; v = 1/2 M’ = Mass of the Jupiter R’ = Radius of the Jupiter v’ = Escape velocity of the Jupiter M’ = 316M R’ = 11R v’ = ½ = ½ = 5.6 x 1/2 = 5.6 x v.
