The escape velocity from the earth is 11...

The escape velocity from the earth is `11 km//s`. The escape velocity from a planet having twice the radius and same density as that of the earth is (in `km//s`)

A

`22 km//sec`

B

`11 km//sec`

C

`5.5 km//sec`

D

`15.5 km//sec`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`v_e=sqrt((2GM)/R)=sqrt((2G.4/3piR^3p)/R)=Rsqrt(8/3piGp)`
`V_epropRrArrv_p=2v_e=22km//sec`
