The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step 1: Understand the Assertion The assertion states: "If the product of surface area and density is the same for both planets, escape velocity will be the same for both." - Escape velocity (Ve) is given by the formula: \[ V_e = \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}} \] where \( G \) is the gravitational constant, \( M \) is the mass of the planet, and \( R \) is the radius of the planet. ### Step 2: Relate Surface Area and Density to Mass The surface area \( A \) of a planet can be expressed as: \[ A = 4\pi R^2 \] The density \( \rho \) is defined as mass per unit volume. The volume \( V \) of a sphere is: \[ V = \frac{4}{3}\pi R^3 \] Thus, the mass \( M \) can be expressed as: \[ M = \rho V = \rho \left(\frac{4}{3}\pi R^3\right) \] ### Step 3: Calculate the Product of Surface Area and Density Now, we calculate the product of surface area and density: \[ A \cdot \rho = (4\pi R^2) \cdot \rho = 4\pi R^2 \cdot \rho \] Substituting for \( M \): \[ A \cdot \rho = 4\pi R^2 \cdot \left(\frac{3M}{4\pi R^3}\right) = 3\frac{M}{R} \] This shows that the product of surface area and density is proportional to the mass of the planet per unit radius. ### Step 4: Analyze the Escape Velocity Since we have established that the product of surface area and density is proportional to \( \frac{M}{R} \), we can see that if this product is the same for two planets, then: \[ \frac{M_1}{R_1} = \frac{M_2}{R_2} \] This implies that the escape velocities for both planets will be the same, as they depend on the ratio of mass to radius. ### Conclusion Both the assertion and the reason are true, and the reason correctly explains the assertion. ### Final Answer Both assertion and reason are correct, and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion. ---
