The mass of the moon is \(1 / 144\) times the mass of a planet and its diameter \(1 / 16\) times the diameter of a planet. If the escape velocity on the planet is \(\mathrm{v}\), the escape velocity on the moon will be _______.

  1. A \(\frac{\mathrm{v}}{3}\)
  2. B  \(\frac{\mathrm{v}}{4}\)
  3. C \(\frac{\mathrm{v}}{12}\)
  4. D \(\frac{v}{6}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{\mathrm{v}}{3}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{V}_{\text {escape }}=\sqrt{\frac{2 \mathrm{GM}}{\mathrm{R}}}\) \(\mathrm{V}_{\text {planet }}=\sqrt{\frac{2 \mathrm{GM}}{\mathrm{R}}}=\mathrm{V}\)…
