    How much energy will necessary for making a body of 500 kg escape from the earth? (\[g=9.8\,m/{{s}^{2}},\]   radius   of   the   earth \[=6.4\,\times {{10}^{6}}m\])

    A)  about \[9.8\times {{10}^{6}}\,J\]             

    B)  about \[6.4\times {{10}^{8}}\,J\]

    C)  about \[3.1\times {{10}^{10}}\,J\]

    D)  about \[27.4\times {{10}^{12}}\,J\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Given\[m=500\,\,kg,\,\,g=9.8\,\,m/{{s}^{2}}\] AND\[{{R}_{e}}=6.4\times {{10}^{6}}m\] Energy required to scape                 \[E=mg\,\,{{R}_{e}}\]                 \[=500\times 9.8\times 6.4\times {{10}^{6}}\]                 \[=3.1\times {{10}^{10}}J\]
