Planet \(A\) has mass \(\mathrm{M}\) and radius \(\mathrm{R}\). Planet \(\mathrm{B}\) has half the mass and half the radius of Planet \(A\). If the escape velocities from the Planets \(A\) and \(\mathrm{B}\) are \(v_{\mathrm{A}}\) and \(v_{\mathrm{B}},\) respectively, then \(\frac{v_{\mathrm{A}}}{v_{\mathrm{B}}}=\frac{\mathrm{n}}{4}\) The value of \(\mathrm{n}\) is

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(4\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{e}}=\sqrt{\frac{2 \mathrm{GM}}{\mathrm{R}}}\) (Escape velocity)

\(V_{A}=\sqrt{\frac{2 G M}{R}}\)

\(V_{B}=\sqrt{\frac{2 G[M / 2]}{R / 2}}=\sqrt{\frac{2 G M}{R}}\)

\(\frac{\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{A}}}{\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{B}}}=1=\frac{\mathrm{n}}{4} \Rightarrow \mathrm{n}=4\)
