I NEED MATHEMATICAL PROOF FOR ESCAPE VELOCITY.

I wonder, why refer to the object launched as "a ball"? Not only is it a gross and unnecessary simplification, but it even fails to be a common example to demonstrate what terminal velocity is. As a matter of fact, I think balls are just about the least likely thing to reach such a velocity - who ever did or would launch a ball and why?!

I'm not going to go into petty battles and change it back to my suggested "object", but I urge the other editors to do so. Or at least use a classic and coherent specific example, like a cannon shell.

Also, when describing how the object will not fall back down, the article uses double quotes around the word "never". How come? Why is it only a theoretical "never"?? Because the universe will end, or what?

I can't figure out how to rename the page; the instructions given at Help:Moving a page are incorrect, as there is no "move" tab. KingSupernova (talk) 05:11, 29 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

@KingSupernova You can't move a page until you're autoconfirmed. You need 10 edits on Simple English Wikipedia to be autoconfirmed. Kk.urban (talk) 05:14, 29 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
Ah, I see. I didn't realize this counted as a separate account from the main Wikipedia. Mind doing it for me? KingSupernova (talk) 05:15, 29 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
