The escape velocity from the earth is 11...

The escape velocity from the earth is `11.2km//s`. If a body is to be projected in a direcion making an angle `45^(@)` to the vertical, then the escape velocity is

A

`11.2/(sqrt(2))kms^(-1)`

B

`11.2xxsqrt(2)kms^(-1)`

C

`11.2xx2kms^-1`

D

`11.2kms^-1`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Change in energy `=1/(2(GMm)//R)=1//2Mv_(e)^(2)`
So, it is independent of angle as gravitational field is conservative in nature.
