Gravitation Question 155

Question: The least velocity required to throw a body away from the surface of a planet so that it may not return is (radius of the planet is [6.4×106m,,,g=9.8,m/sec2)] [AMU (Engg.) 1999]

Options:

A) [9.8×103m/sec]

B) [12.8×103m/sec]

C) [9.8×103m/sec]

D) [11.2×103m/sec]

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

Escape velocity from surface of earth

[ve=2gR] = [2×9.8×6.4×106=11.2×103 m/s]
