The ratio of the radii of planets $A$ and $B$ is ${k_1}$ and the ratio of acceleration due to gravity on them is ${k_2}$. The ratio of escape velocities from them will be

  • A
    ${k_1}{k_2}$
  • B
    $\sqrt {{k_1}{k_2}}$
  • C
    $\sqrt {\frac{{{k_1}}}{{{k_2}}}}$
  • D
    $\sqrt {\frac{{{k_2}}}{{{k_1}}}}$

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A :$ The escape velocities of planet $A$ and $B$ are same. But $A$ and $B$ are of unequal mass.
Reason $R :$ The product of their mass and radius must be same,$M_{1}R_{1} = M_{2}R_{2}$.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

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 ................... $km/s$.

$A$ boy can jump to a height $h$ on the surface of a planet. If the density of the planet is $d$,what should be its radius $R$ so that the boy can escape from the gravitational pull of the planet?

Why does a rocket not have escape energy?

Two spherical stars $A$ and $B$ have densities $\rho_A$ and $\rho_B$,respectively. $A$ and $B$ have the same radius,and their masses $M_A$ and $M_B$ are related by $M_B = 2M_A$. Due to an interaction process,star $A$ loses some of its mass,so that its radius is halved,while its spherical shape is retained,and its density remains $\rho_A$. The entire mass lost by $A$ is deposited as a thick spherical shell on $B$ with the density of the shell being $\rho_A$. If $v_A$ and $v_B$ are the escape velocities from $A$ and $B$ after the interaction process,the ratio $\frac{v_B}{v_A} = \sqrt{\frac{10n}{15^{1/3}}}$. The value of $n$ is. . . . .
