    The ratio of the escape velocity to the orbital velocity is:

    A)  \[\sqrt{2}\]                                       

    B)  1/\[\sqrt{2}\]

    C)  2                                            

    D)  ½

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                     Orbital velocity is given by \[{{v}_{o}}=\sqrt{gR}\]                  ?(i) And escape velocity is given by \[{{v}_{es}}=\sqrt{2gR}\]                              ?(ii) The ratio of escape velocity to orbital velocity from Eqs. (i) and (ii) \[\frac{{{v}_{es}}}{{{v}_{0}}}=\frac{\sqrt{2gR}}{\sqrt{gR}}=\sqrt{2}\]
