The correct Answer is:
To find the ratio of escape velocities of two planets given the ratio of their radii and the ratio of their gravitational accelerations, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Escape Velocity**: The formula for escape velocity \( v \) from the surface of a planet is given by: \[ v = \sqrt{2gR} \] where \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity at the surface of the planet and \( R \) is the radius of the planet. 2. **Defining Variables**: Let: - \( R_1 \) and \( g_1 \) be the radius and acceleration due to gravity of the first planet. - \( R_2 \) and \( g_2 \) be the radius and acceleration due to gravity of the second planet. 3. **Given Ratios**: We are given: - The ratio of the radii of the two planets: \[ \frac{R_1}{R_2} = k \] - The ratio of the gravitational accelerations: \[ \frac{g_1}{g_2} = g \] 4. **Calculating Escape Velocities**: The escape velocity for the first planet \( v_1 \) is: \[ v_1 = \sqrt{2g_1R_1} \] The escape velocity for the second planet \( v_2 \) is: \[ v_2 = \sqrt{2g_2R_2} \] 5. **Finding the Ratio of Escape Velocities**: We need to find the ratio \( \frac{v_1}{v_2} \): \[ \frac{v_1}{v_2} = \frac{\sqrt{2g_1R_1}}{\sqrt{2g_2R_2}} = \sqrt{\frac{g_1R_1}{g_2R_2}} \] 6. **Substituting the Ratios**: Substitute the ratios we have: \[ \frac{v_1}{v_2} = \sqrt{\frac{g_1}{g_2} \cdot \frac{R_1}{R_2}} = \sqrt{g \cdot k} \] 7. **Final Result**: Thus, the ratio of the escape velocities of the two planets is: \[ \frac{v_1}{v_2} = \sqrt{kg} \] ### Conclusion: The ratio of the escape velocities of the two planets is \( \sqrt{kg} \). ---
