The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the relationship between the escape velocities of the three planets P, Q, and R based on their masses and radii. ### Step 1: Understanding Escape Velocity The escape velocity \( V \) from a planet is given by the formula: \[ V = \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}} \] where \( G \) is the gravitational constant, \( M \) is the mass of the planet, and \( R \) is the radius of the planet. ### Step 2: Relating Surface Area to Radius Given that the surface area \( A \) of planet P is \( A \) and that of planet Q is \( 4A \), we can relate the radii of the two planets using the formula for surface area of a sphere: \[ A = 4\pi R^2 \] For planet P: \[ A = 4\pi R_P^2 \implies R_P^2 = \frac{A}{4\pi} \implies R_P = \sqrt{\frac{A}{4\pi}} \] For planet Q: \[ 4A = 4\pi R_Q^2 \implies R_Q^2 = \frac{4A}{4\pi} \implies R_Q = \sqrt{\frac{4A}{4\pi}} = 2\sqrt{\frac{A}{4\pi}} = 2R_P \] Thus, we have: \[ R_Q = 2R_P \] ### Step 3: Relating Mass to Radius The mass of a planet is given by: \[ M = \rho \cdot V = \rho \cdot \left(\frac{4}{3}\pi R^3\right) \] For planet P: \[ M_P = \rho \cdot \frac{4}{3}\pi R_P^3 \] For planet Q: \[ M_Q = \rho \cdot \frac{4}{3}\pi R_Q^3 = \rho \cdot \frac{4}{3}\pi (2R_P)^3 = \rho \cdot \frac{4}{3}\pi \cdot 8R_P^3 = 8M_P \] Thus, we have: \[ M_Q = 8M_P \] ### Step 4: Mass of Planet R The mass of planet R is given as: \[ M_R = M_P + M_Q = M_P + 8M_P = 9M_P \] ### Step 5: Finding Radius of Planet R Using the mass of planet R, we can find its radius: \[ M_R = \rho \cdot \frac{4}{3}\pi R_R^3 \implies 9M_P = \rho \cdot \frac{4}{3}\pi R_R^3 \] Substituting \( M_P \): \[ 9\left(\rho \cdot \frac{4}{3}\pi R_P^3\right) = \rho \cdot \frac{4}{3}\pi R_R^3 \] This simplifies to: \[ 9R_P^3 = R_R^3 \implies R_R = 9^{1/3} R_P = 3R_P \] ### Step 6: Finding Escape Velocities Now we can express the escape velocities: \[ V_P = \sqrt{\frac{2GM_P}{R_P}}, \quad V_Q = \sqrt{\frac{2G(8M_P)}{2R_P}} = \sqrt{\frac{16GM_P}{2R_P}} = \sqrt{\frac{8GM_P}{R_P}} = 2\sqrt{\frac{2GM_P}{R_P}} = 2V_P \] For planet R: \[ V_R = \sqrt{\frac{2G(9M_P)}{3R_P}} = \sqrt{\frac{18GM_P}{3R_P}} = \sqrt{\frac{6GM_P}{R_P}} = \sqrt{3}V_P \] ### Step 7: Comparing Escape Velocities Now we have: - \( V_P = V_P \) - \( V_Q = 2V_P \) - \( V_R = \sqrt{3}V_P \) Thus, the relationship is: \[ V_Q > V_R > V_P \] ### Final Answer The correct relationship is: \[ V_Q > V_R > V_P \]

To solve the problem, we need to find the relationship between the escape velocities of the three planets P, Q, and R based on their masses and radii. ### Step 1: Understanding Escape Velocity The escape velocity \( V \) from a planet is given by the formula: \[ V = \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}} \] where \( G \) is the gravitational constant, \( M \) is the mass of the planet, and \( R \) is the radius of the planet. ...
