$A$ particle released at a large distance from a planet reaches the planet only under gravitational attraction and passes through a smooth tunnel through its centre. If $v_e$ is the escape velocity of a body at the planet,then the particle's speed at the centre of the planet is

  • A
    $\sqrt{1.5} v_e$
  • B
    $v_e$
  • C
    $1.5 v_e$
  • D
    $2 v_e$

$A$ body is projected vertically upwards from the surface of the earth with a velocity equal to half the escape velocity. If $R$ is the radius of the earth,the maximum height attained by the body from the surface of the earth 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)

The escape velocity of a body from the Earth is $11.2 \,km/s$. If the radius of a planet is one-third the radius of the Earth and its mass is one-sixth that of the Earth, the escape velocity from the planet is: (in $\,km/s$)

$A$ bullet is fired vertically upwards with velocity $v$ from the surface of a spherical planet. When it reaches its maximum height,its acceleration due to the planet's gravity is $1/4$ of its value at the surface of the planet. If the escape velocity from the planet is $v_{esc} = v \sqrt{N}$,then the value of $N$ is (ignore energy loss due to atmosphere).
