If the radius of a planet is four times ...

If the radius of a planet is four times that of earth and the value of g is same for both, the escape velocity on the planet will be

A

11.2 km/s

B

5.6 km/s

C

22.4 km/s

D

None of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

`v=sqrt(2gR)impliesv_p/v_e=sqrt(g_p/(g_e)xxR_p/R_e)`
`= sqrt(1xx4) = 2`
