Labster vs CloudLabs Limit at Function

Welcome to Labster - the world's leading platform for interactive science education. Through the Labster app, educators and students can access Labster's library of content including our premier virtual lab simulations. You need to have purchased access to Labster to be able to log in to this app. The Labster app is designed to work on iPads - we recommend not using this app on iPhones due to the smaller screen size, which will lead to a less than optimal experience.

In this simulator, you will need to calculate the limit of a function in order to determine the initial escape velocity required for a spacecraft to break away from the gravitational attraction of a planet. The simulator provides the escape velocity function, which has the variables of the radius of the planet and the distance to the point of arrival. As this is a very long distance, it will be necessary to apply a limit at infinity. The scenario recreates a test laboratory with the prototype of a spacecraft, a monitoring screen, and a control console for the launch.
