  • A
    $1 : \sqrt{2}$
  • B
    $1 : 2$

The escape velocity on Earth is $11.2 \, km/s$. On another planet having twice the radius and $8$ times the mass of the Earth,the escape velocity will be ......... $km/s$.

Escape velocity on a planet is $v_e$. If the radius of the planet remains the same and the mass becomes $4$ times,the escape velocity becomes:

Why does a rocket not have escape energy?

If the acceleration due to gravity $g$ doubles and the radius of earth becomes half that of the present value,then the value of escape velocity is (Assume,$g=10 \ m/s^2$ and radius of earth,$R=6400 \ km$)

The radius of the planet is double that of the earth,but their average densities are same. $V_{p}$ and $V_E$ are the escape velocities of planet and earth respectively. If $\frac{V_p}{V_E}=x$,the value of '$x$' is
