The escape velocity from a spherical planet A is 10 km/s. The escape velocity from another planet B whose density and radius are 10% of those of planet A, is __________ m/s.

  1. A 1000
  2. B \( 200\sqrt{5} \)
  3. C \( 100\sqrt{10} \)
  4. D \( 1000\sqrt{2} \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \( 100\sqrt{10} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( V_{e}=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}}=\sqrt{\frac{2G\times\rho\times\frac{4\pi R^{3}}{3}}{R}}\Rightarrow V_{e}\propto\sqrt{\rho}\times R \)…
