\(\left(\mathrm{V}_{e}=\right.\) escape velocity of a body from the earth's surface)

  1. A \(\sqrt{3} \mathrm{~V}_{\mathrm{e}}\)
  2. B \(2 \mathrm{~V}_{\mathrm{e}}\)
  3. C \(\frac{3}{2} \mathrm{~V}_{\mathrm{e}}\)
  4. D \(2 \sqrt{2} \mathrm{~V}_{\mathrm{e}}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\sqrt{3} \mathrm{~V}_{\mathrm{e}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(D)
\(\begin{aligned} \mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{e}} &=\sqrt{\frac{2 \mathrm{GM}}{\mathrm{R}}} \\ \mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{e}}^{\prime} &=\sqrt{\frac{2 \mathrm{G} \times 6 \mathrm{M}}{2 \mathrm{R}}} \\ &=\sqrt{\frac{2 \mathrm{GM}}{\mathrm{R}} \times 3} \\ &=\sqrt{3} \mathrm{~V}_{\mathrm{e}} \end{aligned}\)
