The masses and radii of the earth and moon are \(\left({M}_{1}, {R}_{1}\right)\) and \(\left({M}_{2}, {R}_{2}\right)\) respectively. Their centres are at a distance ' \({r}\) ' apart. Find the minimum escape velocity for a particle of mass ' \({m}\) ' to be projected from the middle of these two masses:
- A \({V}=\frac{1}{2} \sqrt{\frac{4 {G}\left({M}_{1}+{M}_{2}\right)}{{r}}}\)
- B \({V}=\sqrt{\frac{4 {G}\left({M}_{1}+{M}_{2}\right)}{{r}}}\)
- C \({V}=\frac{1}{2} \sqrt{\frac{2 {G}\left({M}_{1}+{M}_{2}\right)}{{r}}}\)
- D \({V}=\frac{\sqrt{2 {G}}\left({M}_{1}+{M}_{2}\right)}{{r}}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \({V}=\sqrt{\frac{4 {G}\left({M}_{1}+{M}_{2}\right)}{{r}}}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\frac{1}{2} {mV}^{2}-\frac{{GM}_{1} {m}}{{r} / 2}-\frac{{GM}_{2} {m}}{{r} / 2}=0\) \(\frac{1}{2} {mV}^{2}=\frac{2 {Gm}}{{r}}\left({M}_{1}+{M}_{2}\right)\) \({V}=\sqrt{\frac{4 {G}\left({M}_{1}+{M}_{2}\right)}{{r}}}\)

- There are two identical chambers, completely thermally insulated from surroundings. Both chambers have a partition wall dividing the chambers in two compartments. Compartment \(1\) is filled with an ideal gas and Compartment \(3\) is filled with a real gas. Compartments \(2\) and \(4\) are vacuum . A small hole (orifice) is made in the partition walls and the gases are allowed to expand in vacuum Statement \(-1\) : No change in the temperature of the gas takes place when ideal gas expands in vacuum. However, the temperature of real gas goes down (cooling) when it expands in vacuum Statement \(-2\) : The internal energy of an ideal gas is only kinetic. The internal energy of a real gas is kinetic as well as potential
JEE Mains 2013 Medium - Two ideal Carnot engines operate in cascade (all heat given up by one engine is used by the other engine to produce work) between temperatures, \(\mathrm{T}_{1}\) and \(\mathrm{T}_{2} .\) The temperature of the hot reservoir of the first engine is \(\mathrm{T}_{1}\) and the temperature of the cold reservoir of the second engine is \(\mathrm{T}_{2} . T\) is temperature of the sink of first engine which is also the source for the second engine. How is \(T\) related to \(\mathrm{T}_{1}\) and \(\mathrm{T}_{2}\), if both the engines perform equal amount of work?JEE Mains 2020 Medium
