A body is projected vertically from earth's surface with \(\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^{\text {rd }}\) of escape velocity. The maximum height reached by the body is ( \(\mathrm{R}=\) radius of earth)
- A \(\frac{\mathrm{R}}{4}\)
- B \(\frac{\mathrm{R}}{8}\)
- C \(\frac{\mathrm{R}}{9}\)
- D \(\frac{R}{6}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(\frac{\mathrm{R}}{8}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\frac{1}{2}m\left(\frac{v_e}{3}\right)^2 - \frac{GMm}{R} = -\frac{GMm}{R+h}\) \(\frac{1}{2}m\frac{1}{9}\left(\frac{2GM}{R}\right) - \frac{GMm}{R} = -\frac{GMm}{R+h}\)
