And what better place to set up camp than on the island of Key West, down in the amazing Florida Keys.
In physics, escape velocity is the minimum speed needed for an object to break free from the gravitational attraction of a massive body. The escape velocity from earth is about 40,270 km/h (25,020 mph).
In common usage, the initial point is on the surface of a planet or moon. On the surface of the Earth, the escape velocity is about 11.2 kilometers per second (~6.96 mi/s), which is approximately 33 times the speed of sound (Mach 33) and several times the muzzle velocity of a rifle bullet (up to 1.7 km/s).or an object of mass the energy required to escape the Earth's gravitational field is GMm / r, a function of the object's mass (where r is the radius of the Earth, G is the gravitational constant, and M is the mass of the Earth, M =5.9736Ã10 24 kg).
