QAIPM-2012-Ph-1653: NEET 2012 Physics - Class 11 AIPM-2012-Ph-1653 Solution: If \(v_e\) is escape velocity and \(v_o\) is orbital velocity…
If is escape velocity and is orbital velocity of a satellite for orbit close to the earth's surface then these are related by
Multiple Choice Options
- A v o _ = 2 v e _ _
- B v o = v e
- C v e _ = 2 v o _ _
- D v e _ = 2 _ v o _
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
Escapevelocity, v e = 2 G M R ...(i)
where M and R
where M and R be the mass and radius of the earth respectively. The orbital velocity of a satellite close to the earth�s surface is
v 0 = G M R ...(ii)
From (i) and (ii), we get
v e = 2 v 0
