The escape velocity of a sphere of mass ...

The escape velocity of a sphere of mass `m` is given by

A

`sqrt((2GMm)/(R_(e)))`

B

`sqrt((2GM)/(R_(e)^(2)))`

C

`sqrt((2GMm)/(R_(e)^(2)))`

D

`sqrt((2GM)/(R_(e)))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`v=sqrt((2GM)/R)` Escape velocity does not depends upon the mass of the projected body.

Statement I: If a sphere of mass m moving with speed u undergoes a perfectly elastic head-on collision with another sphere of heavier mass M at rest ( M gt m ), then direction of velocity of sphere of mass m is reversed due to collision (no external force acts on system of two spheres).
