    Using PETN, engineers would need 1.0/1.66 (or 0.60) kg to obtain the same effects as 1 kg of TNT. With ANFO or ammonium nitrate, they would require 1.0/0.74 (or 1.35) kg or 1.0/0.32 (or 3.125) kg, respectively. Calculating a single RE factor for an explosive is, however, impossible. It depends on the specific case or use.

    The increase per meter would be 4.8 J/kg; this rate corresponds to one half of the local gravity of 9.5 m/s 2. The speed is 7.8 km/s, the net delta-v to reach this orbit is 8.0 km/s. Taking into account the rotation of the Earth, the delta-v is up to 0.46 km/s less (starting at the equator and going east) or more (if going west).
