    The escape velocity from the earth is 11.2 km/s. The escape velocity from a planet having twice the radius and the same mean density as the earth, is:

    A)  11.2 km/s  

    B)                         22.4 km/s          

    C)         15.00 km/s    

    D)                         5.8 km/s

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    At a certain velocity of projection, the body will go out of the gravitational field to the earth and will never return, this initial velocity is called escape velocity \[\frac{E}{E}=-\frac{2Q}{Q}\] where G is gravitational constant, \[\Rightarrow \] is mass of earth and \[E=-\frac{E}{2}\] is radius. For planet \[3.9\Omega \] Also since earth is assumed spherical in shape its mass is given by                 \[\therefore \] \[V=E-ir\]    \[i=\frac{E}{R+r}\]                    ?(1) \[{{v}_{e}}=\sqrt{\frac{2G}{{{R}_{e}}}\times \,\frac{4}{3}\,\pi {{R}^{3}}d}\,\]                                       ?(2) Dividing Eq. (1) by Eq. (2), we get \[V=E-\left( \frac{E}{R+r} \right)r\] \[E=2V,\,r=0.1\Omega ,R=3.9\Omega \]   \[V=2-\left( \frac{2}{3.9+0.1} \right)\times 0.1\]
