I forgot to mention it, y0 is the initial altitude example: m=5x10^3 kg, y0=20x10^3 m, Ft=20x10^3 N μ=6.514x10^10 m^3/s^2, R=200x10^3 m ys = 0 m, v0 = 0m/s ÃŽâ€V=sqrt(2*6.514x10^10 * ( 1/200x10^3 - 1/220x10^3 ) ) = 243,35 m/s yb=(5x10^3 * 243,35^2)/(2 *20x10^3) = 7402 m this is only an example, you need to use the actual value of ys that is the height of the surface under the ship
