There are two planets. The ratio of the radii of the two planets is $K$,and the ratio of the acceleration due to gravity of both planets is $g$. What will be the ratio of their escape velocities?

  • A
    $(Kg)^{1/2}$
  • B
    $(Kg)^{-1/2}$
  • C
    $(Kg)^2$
  • D
    $(Kg)^{-2}$

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 :

$A$ mass of $6 \times 10^{24} \,kg$ is to be compressed in the form of a solid sphere such that the escape velocity from its surface is $3 \times 10^4 \,ms^{-1}$. The radius of the sphere is (Universal gravitational constant $G = 6.66 \times 10^{-11} \,N \,m^2 \,kg^{-2}$) (in $\,km$)

$A$ body is projected up with a velocity equal to $\frac{3}{4}$ of the escape velocity from the surface of the earth. The height it reaches is (Radius of the earth $= R$)

$A$ body is projected vertically upwards from the surface of the Earth with a velocity sufficient enough to carry it to infinity. The time taken by it to reach height $h$ is $....\,S.$

If the radius of a planet is four times that of Earth and the value of $g$ is the same for both,the escape velocity on the planet will be ......... $km/s$.
