Convert Kilometer per second to Escape velocity (Earth)

Unit definitions

Kilometer per second

Kilometer per second is the distance traveled in kilometers in one second.

Escape velocity (Earth)

The escape velocity is the minimum speed required to overcome the effects of gravity from the surface without falling back. The escape velocity of Earth is equal to $11.186\ \text{km/s}$.

How to convert Kilometer per second to Escape velocity (Earth)

$$\text{Speed}_{\text{Escape Velocityₑₐᵣₜₕ}} = \text{Speed}_{\text{km/s}} \cdot 0.08939746111210441623457893795816199$$

Examples

Example 1

Convert $20.0\ \text{km/s}$ to $\text{Escape Velocityₑₐᵣₜₕ}$.

$$\text{Speed}_{\text{Escape Velocityₑₐᵣₜₕ}} = 20.0 \cdot 0.08939746111210441623457893795816199$$

$$\text{Speed}_{\text{Escape Velocityₑₐᵣₜₕ}} = 1.787949$$

$$\therefore \ 20.0\ \text{km/s} = 1.787949 \ \text{Escape Velocityₑₐᵣₜₕ}$$

Example 2

Convert $90.0\ \text{km/s}$ to $\text{Escape Velocityₑₐᵣₜₕ}$.

$$\text{Speed}_{\text{Escape Velocityₑₐᵣₜₕ}} = 90.0 \cdot 0.08939746111210441623457893795816199$$

$$\text{Speed}_{\text{Escape Velocityₑₐᵣₜₕ}} = 8.045772$$

$$\therefore \ 90.0\ \text{km/s} = 8.045772 \ \text{Escape Velocityₑₐᵣₜₕ}$$

Example 3

Convert $100.0\ \text{km/s}$ to $\text{Escape Velocityₑₐᵣₜₕ}$.

$$\text{Speed}_{\text{Escape Velocityₑₐᵣₜₕ}} = 100.0 \cdot 0.08939746111210441623457893795816199$$

$$\text{Speed}_{\text{Escape Velocityₑₐᵣₜₕ}} = 8.939746$$

$$\therefore \ 100.0\ \text{km/s} = 8.939746 \ \text{Escape Velocityₑₐᵣₜₕ}$$

Example 4

Convert $145.0\ \text{km/s}$ to $\text{Escape Velocityₑₐᵣₜₕ}$.

$$\text{Speed}_{\text{Escape Velocityₑₐᵣₜₕ}} = 145.0 \cdot 0.08939746111210441623457893795816199$$

$$\text{Speed}_{\text{Escape Velocityₑₐᵣₜₕ}} = 12.962632$$

$$\therefore \ 145.0\ \text{km/s} = 12.962632 \ \text{Escape Velocityₑₐᵣₜₕ}$$

Example 5

Convert $170.0\ \text{km/s}$ to $\text{Escape Velocityₑₐᵣₜₕ}$.

$$\text{Speed}_{\text{Escape Velocityₑₐᵣₜₕ}} = 170.0 \cdot 0.08939746111210441623457893795816199$$

$$\text{Speed}_{\text{Escape Velocityₑₐᵣₜₕ}} = 15.197568$$

$$\therefore \ 170.0\ \text{km/s} = 15.197568 \ \text{Escape Velocityₑₐᵣₜₕ}$$
