  • A
    $v_{es}$
  • B
    $3v_{es}$

Explain escape speed. On what factors does escape velocity not depend?

The escape velocity of a body on a planet $A$ is $12 \, km/s$. The escape velocity of the body on another planet $B$,whose density is four times and radius is half of the planet $A$,is ................... $km/s$.

Does the escape speed of a body from the Earth depend on:
$(a)$ the mass of the body,
$(b)$ the location from where it is projected,
$(c)$ the direction of projection,
$(d)$ the height of the location from where the body is launched?

Earth has mass $M_1$ and radius $R_1$,and the moon has mass $M_2$ and radius $R_2$. The distance between their centers is $r$. $A$ body of mass $M$ is placed on the line joining them at a distance $r/3$ from the center of the Earth. To project the mass $M$ to escape to infinity,the minimum speed required is:

Earth has mass $8$ times and radius $2$ times that of a planet. If the escape velocity from the Earth is $11.2 \ km/s$,the escape velocity in $km/s$ from the planet will be:
