The escape velocity of a body depends upon its mass (m) as:

Options

A. `m^(0)`
B. `m^(1)`
C. `m^(2)`
D. `m^(3)`

Answer

A

Explanation

Escape velocity,
`v_(e)=sqrt(2gR)=sqrt((2GM)/(R))`
`rArr" "v_(e)propm^(0)`
In this, expression the mass of the body (m) is not present, hence escape velocity is independent of the mass.
