If $M$ is the mass of a planet and $R$ is its radius,then in order to become a black hole (where $c$ is the speed of light),which condition must be satisfied?

  • A
    $\sqrt{\frac{G M}{R}} \leq c$
  • B
    $\sqrt{\frac{G M}{2 R}} \geq c$
  • C
    $\sqrt{\frac{2 G M}{R}} \geq c$
  • D
    $\sqrt{\frac{2 G M}{R}} \leq c$

Planet $A$ has mass $M$ and radius $R$. Planet $B$ has half the mass and half the radius of Planet $A$. If the escape velocities from the Planets $A$ and $B$ are $v_{A}$ and $v_{B}$ respectively,then $\frac{v_{A}}{v_{B}}=\frac{n}{4}$. The value of $n$ is

The radius of a planet is twice the radius of the Earth. Both have almost equal average mass densities. If $V_P$ and $V_E$ are the escape velocities of the planet and the Earth respectively,then:

An object is thrown vertically upwards from the surface of the earth with a velocity $x$ times the escape velocity on the earth $(x < 1)$. The maximum height to which it rises from the center of the earth is (radius of earth is $R$):

$A$ body is projected vertically upwards from the surface of the Earth with a velocity equal to one-third of the escape velocity. The maximum height attained by the body will be $...... \ km$. (Take radius of Earth $R = 6400 \ km$ and $g = 10 \ m/s^2$)

The condition for a uniform spherical mass $m$ of radius $r$ to be a black hole is [$G=$ gravitational constant and $c=$ speed of light]
