The escape velocity for a body projected vertically upwards from the surface of earth is $11 kms^{-1} $. If the body is projected at an angle of 450 with the vertical, the escape velocity will be ............$kms^{-1}$
The escape velocity is independent of the direction in which the body is projected. Therefore, even if the body is projected at an angle of 45 degrees with the vertical, the escape velocity remains the same, which is $11 kms^{-1}$. The angle of projection does not affect the magnitude of the escape velocity.
