  • A
    $\sqrt{\frac{2GM^2}{R}}$
  • B

There is no atmosphere on the moon because

The radius of the planet is double that of the earth,but their average densities are same. $V_{p}$ and $V_E$ are the escape velocities of planet and earth respectively. If $\frac{V_p}{V_E}=x$,the value of '$x$' is

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. . . . .
