The escape velocity of a body on the earth surface is . If the same body is projected upward with velocity , the velocity of this body at infinite distance from the centre of the earth will be:
- A
- BZero
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: D
$$V_{\infty}=\sqrt{V^2-V_e^2}$$
Given than
$$\mathrm{V}=2 \mathrm{~V}_e$$
So,
$$\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{V}_{\infty}=\sqrt{\left(2 \mathrm{~V}_e\right)^2-\mathrm{V}_e^2} \\ & \mathrm{~V}_{\infty}=\sqrt{3} \mathrm{~V}_e=11.2 \sqrt{3} \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{s}\end{aligned}$$
