Earth has mass 8 times and radius 2 times that of a planet. If the escape velocity from the earth is \(11.2 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{s}\), the escape velocity in \(\mathrm{km} / \mathrm{s}\) from the planet will be :
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(5.6\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{V}_{\text {escape }}=\sqrt{\frac{2 \mathrm{GM}}{\mathrm{R}}} \\ & \frac{\left(\mathrm{V}_{\text {escape }}\right)_{\text {Planet }}}{\left(\mathrm{V}_{\text {escape }}\right)_{\text {Earth }}}=\sqrt{\left(\frac{\mathrm{M}_{\mathrm{P}}}{\mathrm{M}_{\mathrm{E}}}\right) \times\left(\frac{\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{E}}}{\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{P}}}\right)}=\frac{1}{2} \\ & \left(\mathrm{~V}_{\text {escape }}\right)_{\text {Planet }}=\frac{1}{2}\left(\mathrm{~V}_{\text {escape }}\right)_{\text {Earth }}=5.6 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{s}\end{aligned}\)
