If the radius of a planet is $R$ and density is $\rho$,then the escape velocity $v_{e}$ of any body from its surface will be proportional to:

  • A
    $R$
  • B
    $\frac{\sqrt{\rho}}{R}$
  • C
    $R \sqrt{\rho}$
  • D
    $\frac{R}{\sqrt{\rho}}$

The mass and radius of the Earth and Moon are $M_1, R_1$ and $M_2, R_2$ respectively. Their centres are at a distance $d$ apart. The minimum speed with which a body of mass $m$ should be projected from a distance $\frac{2d}{3}$ from the centre of $M_1$ so as to escape to infinity is:

For a satellite,the escape velocity is $11 \ km/s$. If the satellite is launched at an angle of $60^\circ$ with the vertical,then the escape velocity will be ........... $km/s$.

$A$ body is projected vertically upwards from the Earth's surface with a velocity $2 v_{e}$,where $v_{e}$ is the escape velocity from the Earth's surface. The velocity of the body when it escapes the gravitational pull is

Does the escape speed of a body from the Earth depend on:
$(a)$ the mass of the body,
$(b)$ the location from where it is projected,
$(c)$ the direction of projection,
$(d)$ the height of the location from where the body is launched?

For a planet having mass equal to the mass of the Earth but a radius that is one-fourth of the radius of the Earth,the escape velocity for this planet will be (in $km/s$): (in $km/s$)
