$A$ ball $A$ of mass $m$ falls to the surface of the earth from infinity. Another ball $B$ of mass $2m$ falls to the earth from a height equal to six times the radius of the earth. The ratio of the velocities of $A$ and $B$ on reaching the earth is:

  • A
    $\sqrt{\frac{6}{5}}$
  • B
    $\sqrt{\frac{5}{6}}$
  • C
    $1$
  • D
    $\sqrt{\frac{7}{6}}$

Find the kinetic energy required to project an object of mass $m$ from the surface of the Earth to infinity.

The ratio of the radius of a planet $A$ to that of planet $B$ is $r$. The ratio of acceleration due to gravity on the planets is $x$. The ratio of the escape velocities from the two planets is

$A$ body of mass $m$ is projected with velocity $\lambda v_{e}$ in a vertically upward direction from the surface of the earth into space. It is given that $v_{e}$ is the escape velocity and $\lambda < 1$. If air resistance is considered to be negligible,then the maximum height from the center of the earth,to which the body can go,will be: ($R$: radius of earth)

Two planets $P_1$ and $P_2$ with equal mass have radii $R_1$ and $R_2$, respectively, where $R_2 = \frac{R_1}{2}$. The escape speeds of $P_1$ and $P_2$ are $v_1$ and $v_2$, respectively. Then $\frac{v_2}{v_1}$ is :
