There are two planets. The ratio of the radii of the two planets is $K$,and the ratio of the acceleration due to gravity of both planets is $g$. What will be the ratio of their escape velocities?

  • A
    $(Kg)^{1/2}$
  • B
    $(Kg)^{-1/2}$
  • C
    $(Kg)^2$
  • D
    $(Kg)^{-2}$

The escape velocity of an object from the Earth depends upon the mass of the Earth $(M)$,its mean density $(\rho)$,its radius $(R)$,and the gravitational constant $(G)$. Thus,the formula for escape velocity is:

The ratio of the acceleration due to gravity on two planets $P_1$ and $P_2$ is $K_1$. The ratio of their respective radii is $K_2$. The ratio of their respective escape velocities is

Match Column-$I$ with Column-$II$.
Column-$I$ Column-$II$

$(c)$ $11.2 \, km \, s^{-1}$

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

The mass of a planet is six times that of the earth. The radius of the planet is twice that of the earth. If the escape velocity from the earth is $V_{e}$,then the escape velocity from the planet is:
