The escape velocity of a body on an imaginary planet,which has thrice the radius of the Earth and double the mass of the Earth,is (where $v_e$ is the escape velocity of Earth):

  • A
    $\sqrt{2/3} \, v_e$
  • B
    $\sqrt{3/2} \, v_e$
  • C
    $\sqrt{2}/3 \, v_e$
  • D
    $2/\sqrt{3} \, v_e$

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:

$A$ body is projected vertically upwards from the Earth's surface. If the velocity of projection is $\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)$ of the escape velocity,then the height up to which the body rises is $(R = \text{radius of Earth})$

$A$ very small groove is made in the earth,and a particle of mass $m_0$ is placed at $\frac{R}{2}$ distance from the centre. Find the escape speed of the particle from that place.
