The escape velocity of a body projected ...

The escape velocity of a body projected vertically upwards from the surface of the earth is v.If the body is projected in a direction making an angle `theta` with the vertical, the vetical, the escape velocity would be

A

v

B

`v cos theta`

C

`v sin theta`

D

`v tan theta`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
a
The escape velocity is independent of the direction of projection. Hence the correct choice is (a).
