It's fate we're the Escapaides
our footprints will never fade
right here at ccc
this is where we're meant to be
24 and mama yarm hope this summer never ends
we're the
escapaides of 20 10
We're the Es-Kah-Paides
jk that's not us
get our name right

Get the Escapaide mug.To stand on the left side of the escalator and not walk, as is proper Washington, DC Metro protocol; to not follow the "stand left, walk right" rule. A mistake commonly made by tourists or clueless (and occasionally rude) locals.

Get the La Escalera mug.A person who stands on the left side of the escalator instead of the right. This prevents people from descending or ascending the escalator if they don't want to stand on their way up/down.
Oh man I hate it when there is an escalefter in front of me when I'm getting off the subway and running late for work.

Get the escalefter mug.Escape Velocity:
.
if you throw an object straight up, it will rise until the the negative acceleration of gravity stops it, then returns it to Earth. Gravity's force diminishes as distance from the center of the Earth increases, however. So if you can throw the object with enough initial upward velocity so that gravity's decreasing force can never quite slow it to a complete stop, its decreasing velocity can always be just high enough to overcome gravity's pull. The initial velocity needed to achieve that condition is called escape velocity.
.
From the surface of the Earth, escape velocity (ignoring air friction) is about 7 miles per second, or 25,000 miles per hour. Given that initial speed, an object needs no additional force applied to completely escape Earth's gravity

1/2 mv2 = GMm/R
.
Where m is the mass of the object, M mass of the earth, G is the gravitational constant, R is the radius of the earth, and v is the escape velocity. It simplifies to:
.
v = sqrt(2GM/R)
.
or
.
v = sqrt(2gR)
.
Where g is acceleration of gravity on the earth's surface.
.
The value evaluates to be approximately:
.
11100 m/s
40200 km/h
25000 mi/h
