how to derive escape velocity

escape volocity is the minimum volocity required for one object toescape the gravitationl feild of another.we find this by equating gravitional potental enegy and the kinetic energy of the object to 1/2 * m * v^2 = GMm/rby simply rearanging to find "v" we find V = (2GM/r)^.5
