The escape velocity of an object from a planet is \(16 \mathrm{kms}^{-1}\). If the escape velocity of the object from another planet having twice the density and three times the radius of the planet is \(v \sqrt{2} \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\), then the value of \(v\) is

  1. A \(12\)
  2. B \(48\)
  3. C \(18\)
  4. D \(36\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(48\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Escape speed is given by \(\begin{aligned} v & =\sqrt{\frac{2 G M}{R}} \\ & =\sqrt{\frac{2 G \times \frac{4}{3} \pi R^3 \times d}{R}}=\quad(\because M=d \times V) .\end{aligned}\) \(\Rightarrow \quad v=\sqrt{\frac{8}{3} G \pi R^2 d}\) Now given for a planet (lets say \(A\) )…
