The masses and radii of the Earth and Moon are $M_1, R_1$ and $M_2, R_2$ respectively. Their centres are at a distance $d$ apart. The minimum speed with which a body of mass $m$ should be projected from a distance $2d/3$ from the centre of $M_1$ so as to escape to infinity is:

The escape velocity for a body of mass $1\, kg$ from the earth's surface is $11.2\, km/s$. The escape velocity for a body of mass $100\, kg$ would be:

If $V, R$ and $g$ denote respectively the escape velocity from the surface of the earth,the radius of the earth,and the acceleration due to gravity,then the correct equation is:

The acceleration due to gravity on a planet is the same as that on Earth,and its radius is four times that of Earth. What will be the value of the escape velocity on that planet if it is $v_e$ on Earth?

The escape velocity for a body projected vertically upwards from the surface of earth is $11.2 \ km/s$. If the body is projected at an angle of $45^o$ with the vertical,the escape velocity will be ......... $km/s$.
