The escape velocity from the Earth's surface is \(v .\) The escape velocity from the surface of another planet having a radius, four times that of Earth and same mass density is :

  1. A \(v\)
  2. B \(2 v\)
  3. C \(3 v\)
  4. D \(4 v\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(4 v\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(v_{e}=\sqrt{\frac{2 G M}{R}}=\sqrt{\frac{2 G}{R} \times \frac{4}{3} \pi R^{3} \rho}\) \(=\sqrt{\frac{8 \pi \mathrm{G} \rho}{3} R^{3}}\)
