QNEET-2024-Ph-140: NEET 2024 Physics - Class 11 NEET-2024-Ph-140 Solution: The escape velocity for earth is v. A planet having 9 times…
The escape velocity for earth is v. A planet having 9 times mass that of earth and radius 16 times that of earth has the escape velocity of:
Multiple Choice Options
- A 3 v _
- B 3 2 v _
- C 4 3 v _
- D 4 9 v _
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
Escape velocity of object from planet is given by
( v e ) p = 2 G M p R p _ ( v e ) p _ M p R p
Now, M p = 9 M e and R _ = 16 R e (given)
( v e ) p ( v e ) e = M p R p _ R e M e = 9 M e 16 R e _ R e M e = 9 16 = 3 4 _ ( v e ) p = 3 4 v
