Calculate the escape velocity of a body ...

Calculate the escape velocity of a body from the moon. [g(moon)`=1.67m//s^(2),` R(moon) `=1.74xx10^(6)m`]

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Data : `g=1.67m//s^(2), R = 1.74xx10^(6)m`
The escape velocity of a body from the moon,
`v_("esc")=sqrt(2gR)`
`=sqrt(2xx1.67m//s^(2)xx1.74xx10^(6)m)`
`=2.411xx10^(3)m//s=2.411km//s.`
