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:

  • A
    $11.2 \times 10^2\, km/s$
  • B
    $11.2\, km/s$
  • C
    $11.2 \times 10^{-2}\, km/s$
  • D
    None of these

The escape velocity of an object from a planet is $16 \ km/s$. If the escape velocity of the object from another planet having twice the density and three times the radius of the planet is $v \sqrt{2} \ km/s$,then the value of $v$ is

$A$ body is projected vertically upwards from the surface of the earth with a velocity sufficient to carry it to infinity. The time taken by it to reach a height of three times the radius of the earth is (acceleration due to gravity $g = 9.8 \ m/s^2$ and radius of the earth $R = 6400 \ km$). (in $min$)

Escape velocity at the surface of the Earth is $11.2 \, km/s$. If the radius of a planet is double that of the Earth but its mean density is the same as that of the Earth,then the escape velocity will be ........ $km/s$.

Planet $A$ has mass $M$ and radius $R$. Planet $B$ has half the mass and half the radius of Planet $A$. If the escape velocities from the Planets $A$ and $B$ are $v_{A}$ and $v_{B}$ respectively,then $\frac{v_{A}}{v_{B}}=\frac{n}{4}$. The value of $n$ is

$A$ body of mass $m$ is dropped from a height $h = \frac{R}{2}$ above the surface of the Earth,where $R$ is the radius of the Earth. Find its speed when it hits the Earth's surface. (Given: $v_e$ is the escape velocity from the Earth's surface).
