Escape speed from Earth is about
1) 8 km/s. 2) 11.2 km/s. 3) more than 11.2 km/s. Interestingly, if a stone released at rest at the far edge of the solar system drops to Earth by virtue of only Earth gravity, it will strike Earth's surface with a speed of about 4) 8 m/s. 5) 10 km/s. 6) 11.2 km/s. 7) more than 11.2 km/s.
