Gravitation question

2024 · Q156

NEETPhysicsGravitationMCQ+4 / −1

The escape velocity for earth is vvv. A planet having 9 times mass that of earth and radius, 16 times that of earth, has the escape velocity of:

  1. A
    v3\frac{v}{3}3v​
  2. B
    2v3\frac{2 v}{3}32v​
  3. C
    3v4\frac{3 v}{4}43v​
  4. D
    9v4\frac{9 v}{4}49v​

Correct answer: C

Escape velocity of object from planet is given by

$$\begin{aligned} & \left(v_e\right)_p=\sqrt{\frac{2 G M_p}{R_p}} \\ & \therefore \quad\left(v_e\right)_p \propto \sqrt{\frac{M_p}{R_p}} \end{aligned}$$

Now, $M_p=9 M_e$ and $R_\rho=16 R_e$ (given)

$$\begin{aligned} & \frac{\left(v_e\right)_p}{\left(v_e\right)_e}=\sqrt{\frac{M_p}{R_p} \times \frac{R_e}{M_e}}=\sqrt{\frac{9 M_e}{16 R_e} \times \frac{R_e}{M_e}}=\sqrt{\frac{9}{16}}=\frac{3}{4} \\ & \Rightarrow \quad\left(v_e\right)_p=\frac{3}{4} v \end{aligned}$$
