The correct Answer is:
To find the relationship between escape velocity (\( v_e \)) and orbital velocity (\( v_0 \)) for a satellite in an orbit close to the Earth's surface, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write the formula for escape velocity The escape velocity (\( v_e \)) from the surface of a planet is given by the formula: \[ v_e = \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}} \] where: - \( G \) is the universal gravitational constant, - \( M \) is the mass of the planet, - \( R \) is the radius of the planet. ### Step 2: Write the formula for orbital velocity The orbital velocity (\( v_0 \)) for a satellite in a circular orbit close to the surface of the planet is given by the formula: \[ v_0 = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{R}} \] ### Step 3: Relate the two velocities Now, we can relate the escape velocity to the orbital velocity. We can express the escape velocity in terms of the orbital velocity: \[ v_e = \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}} = \sqrt{2} \cdot \sqrt{\frac{GM}{R}} = \sqrt{2} \cdot v_0 \] ### Conclusion Thus, the relationship between escape velocity and orbital velocity is: \[ v_e = \sqrt{2} \cdot v_0 \]
