JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 7. gravitation

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion \(A\) and the other is labelled as Reason \(R\). Assertion \(A :\) The escape velocities of planet \(A\) and \(B\) are same. But \(A\) and \(B\) are of unequal mass. Reason \(R :\) The product of their mass and radius must be same, \(M _{1} R _{1}= M _{2} R _{2}\) In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below

  1. A Both \(A\) and \(R\) are correct but \(R\) is \(NOT\) the correct explanation of \(A\)
  2. B \(A\) is correct but \(R\) is not correct
  3. C Both \(A\) and \(R\) are correct and \(R\) is the correct explanation of \(A\)
  4. D \(A\) is not correct but \(R\) is correct
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(A\) is correct but \(R\) is not correct

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(V _{ e }=\sqrt{\frac{2 GM }{ R }}\) \(\frac{ M _{1}}{ R _{1}}=\frac{ M _{2}}{ R _{2}}\) \(M _{1} R _{2}= M _{2} R _{1}\) Hence reason \(R\) is not correct.
