For a satellite escape velocity is 11 km/s. If the satellite is launched at an angle of 60° with the vertical, then escape velocity will be (a) 11 km/s (b) 11√(3) km/s (c) (11)/(√(3)) km/s (d) 33 km/s

Answer: (a). Escape velocity comes from an energy condition, so it does not depend on the launch angle. So the answer is (a) 11 km/s.
