From the pole of the earth, a body of mass \(m\) is imparted a velocity \(v_0\) directed vertically up. If \(M\) is the mass of the earth, \(R\) its radius and \(g\) is the free-fall acceleration on its surface, then the height \(h\) to which the body will ascent is (neglect air resistance)

  1. A \(\frac{R v_0^2}{\left(2 g R-v_0^2\right)}\)
  2. B \(\frac{R v_0^2}{2 g R}\)
  3. C \(R\)
  4. D \(\frac{R v_0^2}{\left(2 g R+v_0^2\right)}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{R v_0^2}{\left(2 g R-v_0^2\right)}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

If body moves up to height \(h\), then by conservation of energy, we get…
