The correct Answer is:
To find the escape velocity from the surface of the Earth in terms of its radius \( R \) and density \( \rho \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the formula for escape velocity The escape velocity \( V \) from the surface of a celestial body is given by the formula: \[ V = \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}} \] where \( G \) is the universal gravitational constant, \( M \) is the mass of the Earth, and \( R \) is the radius of the Earth. ### Step 2: Express mass \( M \) in terms of density \( \rho \) The mass \( M \) of the Earth can be expressed in terms of its density \( \rho \) and volume \( V \). The volume \( V \) of a sphere is given by: \[ V = \frac{4}{3} \pi R^3 \] Thus, the mass \( M \) can be written as: \[ M = \rho V = \rho \left(\frac{4}{3} \pi R^3\right) \] ### Step 3: Substitute mass \( M \) into the escape velocity formula Now, substituting the expression for \( M \) into the escape velocity formula, we get: \[ V = \sqrt{\frac{2G \left(\rho \frac{4}{3} \pi R^3\right)}{R}} \] ### Step 4: Simplify the expression This simplifies to: \[ V = \sqrt{\frac{2G \cdot 4\pi \rho R^2}{3}} \] \[ V = \sqrt{\frac{8\pi G \rho R^2}{3}} \] ### Step 5: Factor out \( R \) We can factor out \( R \) from the square root: \[ V = R \sqrt{\frac{8\pi G \rho}{3}} \] ### Conclusion Thus, the escape velocity from the surface of the Earth in terms of its radius \( R \) and density \( \rho \) is: \[ V = R \sqrt{\frac{8\pi G \rho}{3}} \]
