The escape speed of a particle on the surface of the earth is 11.2km/second. A body is projectwith thrice this speed from the surface of the earth. What is the speed of the body in the outer space far away from the earth?

A

`22.4kms^(-1)`

B

`31.7kms^(-1)`

C

`33.6kms^(-1)`

D

None of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

`v=sqrt((3v_e)^2-v_e^2)=2sqrtxxv_e`
`=31.7 km//sec`
