The escape velocity of a body on the ear...

The escape velocity of a body on the earth's surface is `v_e`. A body is thrown up with a speed `sqrt5``v_e` , Assuming that the sun and planet do not influlence the motion of the body , velocity of the bidy at infinite distance , is

A

Zero

B

`V_e`

C

`sqrt2v_1`

D

`2V_e`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

Velocity of projection , V> Escape velocity, `V_e`
`therefore V^1 = (sqrtV^2 - V_e^2)= (sqrt(5v_e)^2- V_e^2)`= `sqrt(5v_e^2-v_e^2) = (2v_e)`
