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

  • A
    ${k_1}{k_2}$
  • B
    $\sqrt {{k_1}{k_2}}$
  • C
    $\sqrt {\frac{{{k_1}}}{{{k_2}}}}$
  • D
    $\sqrt {\frac{{{k_2}}}{{{k_1}}}}$

The condition for a uniform spherical mass $m$ of radius $r$ to be a black hole is [$G=$ gravitational constant and $c=$ speed of light]

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

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:
