For two bodies with equal radius, the more massive has the greater escape velocity. For two bodies with equal mass, the one with smaller radius has the greater escape velocity. Both conditions listed in the question indicate greaterescape velocity.

How are the mass of the body and escape speed related?

The greater the mass of the planet, the greater will be the escape velocity.


An object that has an escape speed greater than that of light is a?

A black hole has an escape velocity of the speed of light, at least theoretically. Oddly, though, each galaxy has a black hole and we can detect them because they throw off massive amounts of energy. If the escape velocity is greater than the speed of light, then no light or energy of any kind should escape. So black holes are not quite the perfect consumers of everything.

What is the trajectory of a projectile having velocity greater than escape velocity?

It will eventually straighten out as it escapes gravity.


How does the escape velocity from a black hole compare with the speed of light?

The escape velocity of a black hole is equal or greater than the speed of light, so light cannot escape


What is the escape velocity of the Sun in miles per hour?

Can light escape black holes?

No. The escape velocity of a black hole is greater than the speed of light.


Is escape velocity of light infinity?

Not at all. It would take an infinitely large mass to produce an infinite escape velocity, and no such infinite mass exists. Furthermore, the escape velocity for any object is the same no matter what is trying to escape, so light does not have its own escape velocity. This question presumably concerns black holes. Light does not escape from black holes because the escape velocity is greater than the speed of light. The speed of light is not infinite, it is 300,000 kilometers per second.
