 Escape Velocity Encyclopedia Article, Description, History and Biography @ ArtisticNudity.com
In physics, for a given gravitational field and a given position, the escape velocity is the minimum speed an object without propulsion, at that position, needs to have to move away indefinitely from the source of the field, as opposed to falling back or staying in an orbit within a bounded distance from the source.
E.g., for the Earth the rotational velocity is 465 m/s to the east at the equator, and the escape velocity to the east, with respect to the Earth's surface, is ca.
The simplest way of deriving the formula for escape velocity is to use conservation of energy, thus: in order to escape, an object must have at least as much kinetic energy as the increase of potential energy required to move to infinite height.

Exit from the interior of a building to the fire escape may be provided by a fire exit door, but in some cases the only exit is through a window.

 Escape (song) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
To this day, Holmes regards the song with a mixture of pride and chagrin; while it has made him wealthy and famous, as one of his friends described it, it is "the success that ruined his career", drawing attention from his more serious and heartfelt musical works.
"Escape" (later known as "Escape (The Piña Colada Song)") was the highest-charting hit for Rupert Holmes, and is one of the most easily-recognized songs of the past few decades.
Holmes reluctantly agreed to rename the song "Escape (The Piña Colada Song)".

Between 90 and 130 million people in the world suffer from such disabilities.
Clinically, mental disability is graded as profound, severe, moderate, or mild, roughly according to IQ and the sufferer's ability to cope with everyday tasks.
Among its many causes are genetic defect (phenylketonuria), chromosomal errors (Down's syndrome), infection before birth (rubella) or in infancy (meningitis), trauma (brain damage at birth or later), respiratory difficulties at the time of birth, toxins (lead poisoning), physical deprivation (lack of, or defective, thyroid tissue, as in cretinism), and gross psychological deprivation.

 Escape Velocities, Alaska Science Forum
Escape velocities on the giants are much too high for even high-speed gas molecules to escape, while the smaller planets do not have enough gravity to hold onto them.
At velocities higher than that needed to obtain a circular orbit, the path becomes elliptical until escape velocity is approached, at which time the orbit becomes parabolic.
The term escape velocity as used in celestial mechanics is usually applied to a surface launch velocity, disregarding aerodynamic friction.

 Shape of the orbit
For a hyperbolic orbit, a becomes negative and thus the total mechanical energy is now positive, meaning that the kinetic energy of the body in motion has overcome the negative potential energy and escaped into an open orbit.
In order to escape the gravitational attraction of any central body, be it the Earth, the Sun or any other celestial body, its is quite clear that the body in motion must possess a considerable amount of energy.
In an elliptical orbit, when a is positive the total energy of the satellite will be negative, that is, kinetic energy will not be enough to surmount the negative potential energy and the body will stay locked in a closed orbit.

 escape velocity. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
Escape velocity depends on the mass of the larger body and the distance of the smaller body from its center, being proportional to the square root of the ratio of these two quantities.
A body given less than the escape velocity will fall back toward the surface of the larger body; a body given a velocity equal to or greater than the escape velocity will still be attracted by the larger body, but this force will not be sufficient to cause it to return.
the velocity a body must be given in order to escape the gravitational hold of some other larger body, e.g., the earth, moon, or sun.

 What is escape velocity?
Escape velocity is defined to be the minimum velocity an object must have in order to escape the gravitational field of the earth, that is, escape the earth without ever falling back.
Where m is the mass of the object, M mass of the earth, G is the gravitational constant, R is the radius of the earth, and v is the escape velocity.
So, an object which has this velocity at the surface of the earth, will totally escape the earth's gravitational field (ignoring the losses due to the atmosphere.) It is all there is to it.

 Hyperbolic trajectory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Similarly to parabolic trajectory all hyperbolic trajectories are also escape trajectories.
In astrodynamics or celestial mechanics a hyperbolic trajectory is an orbit with the eccentricity greater than 1.
Under standard assumptions a body traveling along this trajectory will coast to infinity, arriving there with hyperbolic excess velocity relative to the central body.

 TRAJECTORIES AND ORBITS
Escape velocity increases as the square root of the planet's mass, and decreases as the square root of the distance from the planet's center.
These escape velocity requirements are a measure of the difficulty of departure from these bodies.
Achievement of escape velocity, however, is only part of the problem; other factors must be considered, particularly the Sun's gravitational field and the motion of the Earth about the Sun.

Before he seemingly died, he successfully saved his wife, a fellow astronaut on the flight, who had been fading from existence.

The escape sequences of the DEC vt100 video terminal have become a de facto standard for this purpose.
Escape sequences are often used to control display devices such as VDUs.

 Nuclear fission - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Now the escape of neutrons from a quantity of uranium is a surface effect depending on the area of the surface, but fission capture occurs throughout the material and is therefore a volume effect.
The technological gap between producing a controlled chain reaction and using it as a large-scale power source or an explosive is comparable to the gap between the discovery of fire and the manufacture of a steam locomotive.
The process releases a lot of energy compared to chemical reactions ; the energy is released in the form of both photon radiation (like gamma rays) and in the kinetic energy (energy of motion) of the nuclei and neutrons.
