The mass of a planet is half that of the earth and the radius of the planet is one-fourth that of earth. If we plan to send an artificial satellite from the planet, the escape velocity will be, (escape velocity on earth \(v_e=11 \mathrm{~km}-\mathrm{s}^{-1}\) )
- A \(11 \mathrm{~km}_{-\mathrm{s}^{-1}}\)
- B \(5.5 \mathrm{~km}^{-\mathrm{s}^{-1}}\)
- C \(15.55 \mathrm{~km}-\mathrm{s}^{-1}\)
