The ratio of orbital velocity of a body near to the surface of a planet and escape velocity of a body from the surface of the same planet is

  1. A \(\sqrt{2}: 1\)
  2. B \(\sqrt{5}: 1\)
  3. C \(1: \sqrt{2}\)
  4. D \(1: \sqrt{5}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(1: \sqrt{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\begin{aligned} & \text {Orbital velocity }=\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{GM}}{\mathrm{r}}} \\ & \text { Escape velocity }=\sqrt{\frac{2 \mathrm{GM}}{\mathrm{r}}} \\ & \text { Ratio }=\frac{\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{GM}}{\mathrm{r}}}}{\sqrt{\frac{2…
