Earth has mass $M_1$ and radius $R_1$,and the moon has mass $M_2$ and radius $R_2$. The distance between their centers is $r$. $A$ body of mass $M$ is placed on the line joining them at a distance $r/3$ from the center of the Earth. To project the mass $M$ to escape to infinity,the minimum speed required is:

The escape velocity of an atmospheric particle which is $1000 \, km$ above the Earth's surface is .......... $km/s$ (radius of Earth is $6400 \, km$ and $g = 9.8 \, m/s^2$).

$A$ 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:

View Solution

$A$ body is projected vertically from the surface of the earth of radius $R$ with a velocity equal to half of the escape velocity. The maximum height reached by the body is

$A$ body of mass $m$ is thrown vertically upward with speed $\sqrt{3} v_e$, where $v_e$ is the escape velocity of a body from the Earth's surface. The final velocity of the body is
