"How fast should I fire a gun
-
so the bullet never comes back?"
-
Well, you should fire it so that it can go to infinity.
-
When it goes to infinity,
-
you want to just manage to get there;
-
it's going to go to infinity, stagger, and fall down.
-
Well, it's got no kinetic energy in infinity,
-
it's got no potential energy in infinity.
-
Therefore, its total energy should be 0.
-
Therefore, what you should do--
-
At the surface of the Earth
-
your (1/2)·m·v^2 - G·M·m / RE should be 0,
