A body of mass \(m\) is thrown vertically upward with speed \(\sqrt{3} v_e\), where \(v_e\) is the escape velocity of a body from earth surface. The final velocity of the body is

  1. A 0
  2. B \(2 v_e\)
  3. C \(\sqrt{3} v_e\)
  4. D \(\sqrt{2} \mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{e}}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\sqrt{2} \mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{e}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(-\frac{\mathrm{GMm}}{\mathrm{R}}+\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{~m}\left(\sqrt{3} \mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{e}}\right)^2=0+\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{mv}^2, \quad \mathrm{v}=\sqrt{2} \mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{e}}\)
