If $V, R$ and $g$ denote respectively the escape velocity from the surface of the earth,the radius of the earth,and the acceleration due to gravity,then the correct equation is:

  • A
    $V = \sqrt{gR}$
  • B
    $V = \sqrt{\frac{4}{3}gR^3}$
  • C
    $V = R\sqrt{g}$
  • D
    $V = \sqrt{2gR}$

$A$ planet has twice the radius but the mean density is $\frac{1}{4}^{th}$ as compared to Earth. What is the ratio of the escape velocity from Earth to that from the planet?

$A$ spaceship is stationed on Mars. How much energy must be expended on the spaceship to launch it out of the solar system? Mass of the spaceship $= 1000 \; kg$,mass of the Sun $= 2 \times 10^{30} \; kg$,mass of Mars $= 6.4 \times 10^{23} \; kg$,radius of Mars $= 3395 \; km$,radius of the orbit of Mars $= 2.28 \times 10^{8} \; km$,$G = 6.67 \times 10^{-11} \; N m^{2} kg^{-2}$.

Escape velocity at the surface of the Earth is $11.2 \, km/s$. If the radius of a planet is double that of the Earth but its mean density is the same as that of the Earth,then the escape velocity will be ........ $km/s$.
