4. What is escape velocity ?

Escape velocity is the maximum velocity with which a body should be projected from the surface of earth so it do not go beyond gravitational field of earth.
Escape velocity is the minimum velocity with which a body should be projected from the surface of earth so it do not go beyond gravitational field of earth.
Escape velocity is the minimum velocity with which a body should be projected from the surface of earth so as it goes out of gravitational field of earth and never return to earth.
