    A spherical uniform planet is rotating about its axis. The velocity of a point on its equator is v. Due to the rotation of planet about its axis the acceleration due to gravity g at equator is 1/2 of g at poles. The escape velocity of a particle on the pole of planet in terms of v is

    A) \[{{v}_{e}}=2v\]

    B) \[{{v}_{e}}=v\]

    C) \[{{v}_{e}}=v/2\]

    D) \[{{v}_{e}}=\sqrt{3}v\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] \[v=\omega R\] \[g={{g}_{0}}-{{\omega }^{2}}R\]  [\[g=\]at equator, \[{{g}_{0}}=\]at poles] \[\frac{{{g}_{0}}}{2}={{g}_{0}}-{{\omega }^{2}}R;{{\omega }^{2}}R=\frac{{{g}_{0}}}{2}\] \[{{v}^{2}}=\frac{{{g}_{0}}R}{2}\] \[{{v}_{e}}=\sqrt{2{{g}_{0}}R}=\sqrt{4{{v}^{2}}}=2v\]
