The escape velocity of a body from the Earth’s gravitational field does not depend on which of the following?
Correct answer D. Both its mass and the angle at which it is thrown
Explanation
Escape velocity is v = √(2GM/R), which involves only the Earth's mass and radius. The mass of the body cancels out, and as energy is a scalar the launch angle does not matter.
