The acceleration due to gravity on a planet is 1.96m/s, If it is safe to junp from a height of 2 m on the Earth, what will be the corresponding safe height on the planet?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Escape speed =` sqrt(2gR)`, which is independent of the mass of the body.Thus ,escape speed is same.
