If $v_e$ is escape velocity and $v_0$ is orbital velocity of a satellite for an orbit close to the earth's surface,then these are related by:

  • A
    $v_0 = \sqrt{2} v_e$
  • B
    $v_e = v_0$
  • C
    $v_e = \sqrt{2v_0}$
  • D
    $v_e = \sqrt{2} v_0$

The mass of a planet is half that of the Earth and the radius of the planet is one-fourth that of the Earth. If we plan to send an artificial satellite from the planet,the escape velocity will be (escape velocity on Earth $v_e = 11 \ km \ s^{-1}$): (in $km \ s^{-1}$)

If the radius and acceleration due to gravity both are doubled,the escape velocity of the Earth will become ......... $km/s$.

What is the escape energy of an object of mass $m$ at a height of $4R_e$ from the surface of the Earth? ($R_e$ = radius of the Earth)

$A$ body is projected vertically from the Earth's surface with a velocity equal to half the escape velocity. The maximum height reached by the body is ($R =$ radius of the Earth).
