The velocity with which a projectile must be fired to escape from the earth does not depend upon

A

mass of earth

B

mass of projectile

C

radius of earth

D

None of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Since, escape velocity, `v_(e)=sqrt(2gR)`, therefore `v_(e)` is independent of mass of projectile.
