JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 7. gravitation

A body is projected vertically upwards from the surface of earth with a velocity equal to one third of escape velocity. The maximum height attained by the body will be \(......km\) (Take radius of earth \(=6400\,km\) and \(g =10\,ms^{-2}\) )

  1. A \(800\)
  2. B \(1600\)
  3. C \(2133\)
  4. D \(4800\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(800\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(v _{ e }=\sqrt{\frac{2 Gm }{ R }}\) \(\frac{- GMm }{ R }+\frac{1}{2} m \frac{ V _{ o }^{2}}{9}=-\frac{ GMm }{ R + h }\) \(\frac{ GM }{ R + h }=\frac{ GM }{ R }-\frac{ V _{ e }^{2}}{18}\) \(\frac{ GM }{ R + h }=\frac{ GM }{ R }-\frac{ GM }{9 R }\)…
