Given mass of the moon is 1/81 of the mass of the earth and corresponding radius is 1/4 of the earth. If escape velocity on the earth surface is 11.2 km / s , the value of same on the surface of the moon is

A

0.14 km/s

B

0.5 km/s

C

2.5 km/s

D

5 km/s

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

On earth `v_e=sqrt((2GM)/R)` =11.2 km/s
On moon `v_m=sqrt((2GMxx4)/(81xxR))=2/9sqrt((2GM)/R)`
`=2/9xx11.2` =2.5 km/s
