Q45NEET 2021Easy

Escape Velocity

The escape velocity from the Earth's surface is v. The escape velocity from the surface of another planet having a radius, four times that of Earth and same mass density is:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. ve∝Rρv_e \propto R\sqrt{\rho}
  2. Same density, R′=4R⇒v′=4vR' = 4R \Rightarrow v' = 4v
  3. So the answer is (a) 4v4v.
