The escape velocity from the surface of earth of mass 'M' and radius 'R' is 'Ve'. The escape velocity from the surface of a planet whose mass and radius are 3 times that of the earth, will be

  1. A \(\mathrm{q} \mathbf{V}_{\mathrm{e}}\)
  2. B \(3 \mathrm{Ve}\)
  3. C \(\mathbf{V} \mathrm{e}\)
  4. D \(12 \mathrm{Ve}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\mathbf{V} \mathrm{e}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{e}}=\sqrt{\frac{2 \mathrm{GM}}{\mathrm{R}}}\)
\(\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{e}}^{\prime}=\sqrt{\frac{2 \mathrm{G} \times 3 \mathrm{M}}{3 \mathrm{R}}}=\sqrt{\frac{2 \mathrm{GM}}{\mathrm{R}}}=\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{e}}\)
