If a rocket is launched at the escape velocity on the surface of a planet, the limiting value of its kinetic energy as the distance from the planet (due to the motion of the rocket) approaches infinity is

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When a rocket is launched at escape velocity, its kinetic energy at infinity approaches zero because all of its initial kinetic energy is used to overcome the gravitational potential energy of the planet.
