View Solution

Explain the escape energy of a body of mass $m$ lying on the surface of the Earth.

The mass of a planet is half that of the Earth and the radius of the planet is one-fourth that of the Earth. If we plan to send an artificial satellite from the planet,the escape velocity will be (escape velocity on Earth $v_e = 11 \ km \ s^{-1}$): (in $km \ s^{-1}$)

$A$ body of mass $m$ is projected with velocity $\lambda v_{e}$ in a vertically upward direction from the surface of the earth into space. It is given that $v_{e}$ is the escape velocity and $\lambda < 1$. If air resistance is considered to be negligible,then the maximum height from the center of the earth,to which the body can go,will be: ($R$: radius of earth)

$A$ certain object is projected vertically from the surface of the earth of radius $R$ with a velocity equal to half the escape velocity. The maximum height attained by the object will be
