The escape velocity for a body of mass 1...

The escape velocity for a body of mass `1kg` from the earth surface is `11.2kms^(-1)`. The escape velocity for a body of mass `100kg` would be

A

`11.2xx10^(-2)kms^(-1)`

B

`111kms^(-1)`

C

`11.2kms^(-1)`

D

`11.2xx10^(-2)kms^(-1)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Escape velocity is independent of mass of the object. It depends only on the mass of the planet as.
`v=sqrt((2GM)/R)`
