The escape velocity of an object project...

The escape velocity of an object projected from the surface of a given planet is independent of

A

mass of the planet

B

the mass of the object

C

the radius of the planet

D

the direction of projection

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B, D
As `upsilon_(e) = sqrt((2GM)/(R )), :. upsilon_(e)` is independent of mass of the object and the direction of projection of the object but depends upon mass `(M)` and radius `R` o fthe planet.
