A body is projected vertically upwards from the surface of the earth with a velocity equal to half the escape velocity. If \(R\) is the radius of the earth, maximum height attained by the body from the surface of the earth is
- A \(\frac{R}{6}\)
- B \(\frac{R}{3}\)
- C \(\frac{2 R}{3}\)
- D \(R\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(\frac{2 R}{3}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Maximum height attained by a projectile \(h=\frac{v^2 R}{2 g R-v^2}\) Velocity of body \(=\) half the escape velocity \(v=\frac{v_e}{2}\)…
