Q: The escape velocity is the velocity at which the gravitational potential energy of an object is equal to its kinetic energy and reflects the speed at which an object must move in order to escape the gravitational influence of the surface on which it rests. Which of the following accurately reflects the equation for the escape velocity of any object?
A		√(2GMh/r)
B		√(2GM/r2)
C		√(2GMm/r2)
D		√(2GM/r)
