Statement 1: The value of escape velocity from the surface of earth at `30^@` and `60^@` is `v_(1)=2v_(e), v_(2)=2//3v_(e)`.
Statement II: The value of escape velocity is independent of angle of projection.

A

Statement I is True, Statement II is True: Statement II is a correct explanation for Statement I.

B

Statement I is True, Statement II is True: Statement II is Not a correct explanation for Statement I.

C

Statement I is True, Statement II is False.

D

Statement I is False, Statement II is True.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The value of escape velocity is derived from the method of conservation of total mechanical energy and energy is independnet of direction.

    Statement-1: Escape velocity from surface of a particular planet is V . If a tunnel is made inside the surface, the escape velocity from a point inside the tunnel must be greater than V . Statement-2: Gravitational force is a conservative force.

    STATEMENT -1 : The escape valocity upon Earth's surface is 11.2 km/h. But velocity required for escaping is little less than 11.2 km/h if launched properly. and STATEMENT -2 : Escape velocity is independent of angle of projection. Conservation of mechanical energy uses KE and GPE which are scale quantities.
