What is the escape velocity of anobject which is the same distance from the sun

Question

What is the escape velocity of anobject which is the same distance from the sun as the average earthorbit, (1,5 * 10^11 meters)? Do not consider the Earth'sgravitational field but only that of the Sun (Mass of the sun is1,99*10^30 kg, G=6,67*10^(-11) Nm^2/kg^2

Explanation / Answer

escape velocity = (2GM/R) =(2*6.67*10^(-11)*1.99*10^30/(1.5*10^11)  m/s    = 1.6897*10^5 m/s
