escape vel. doubt

find the min. velocity with which an object must be projected horizontally so that it doesen't returns back to the surface

acc to this link{ques c]}, ans shud be root [gr]
http://www.targetiit.com/iit-jee-forum/posts/interesting-kinematics-17278.html

but i believe it shud be root [2gr] only,

by conservation of energy{ as theres no role of angle of projection in it}

please confirm

No seoni < plays a role here.At the moment the projectile turns back its velocity is not zero!! We need to apply both conservation of energy and angular momentum...

thanks for replying...
but then we'll have 2 equations, & 3 variables( initial V, final V, final _l_ distance)

where am i wrong... please tell..

think of it in terms of graviational potential energy...

that will be much easier..

There you will not have to worry about horizontal/. vertical speed...

also you will not have to worry about changing gravitational field...
