    The escape velocity for the earth is 11.2 km/s, The mass of another planet 100 times mass of earth and its radius is 4 times radius of the earth. The escape velocity for the planet is

    A)  280 km/s            

    B)  56.0 km/s

    C)  112 km/s        

    D)         56 km/s

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Escape velocity from the earth surface \[{{V}_{escape}}=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}}\] here, \[\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}}=11.2\,\,km\text{/}\sec \] when M = 100 M and R = 4R \[\therefore \]  \[\text{Vescape}=\sqrt{\frac{100}{4}\frac{GM}{R}}\] \[=5\times 11.2=56\,km\text{/}\sec \]
