Answer:

[tex]V.E=498.02m/s^2[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Radius [tex]r=301Km[/tex]

Gravitational acceleration [tex]g=0.412 m/s^2[/tex]

Generally the equation for Escape velocity is mathematically given by

 [tex]V.E^2=2gr[/tex]

 [tex]V.E^2=2*0.412m/s^2*301000[/tex]

 [tex]V.E^2=248024[/tex]

 [tex]V.E=\sqrt{248024}[/tex]

 [tex]V.E=498.02m/s^2[/tex]
