JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 7. gravitation

If earth has a mass nine times and radius twice to the of a planet \(P\). Then \(\frac{v_e}{3} \sqrt{x}\; ms ^{-1}\) will be the minimum velocity required by a rocket to pull out of gravitational force of \(P\), where \(v_e\) is escape velocity on earth. The value of \(x\) is

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(v_{\text {(escape) plant }}=\sqrt{\frac{2 G M_P}{R_P}}\) \(=\sqrt{\frac{2 G\left(\frac{M_e}{9}\right)}{\left(\frac{R_e}{2}\right)}}=\frac{v_e \sqrt{2}}{3} \therefore x=2\)
