The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the minimum escape velocity required for a rocket to pull out of the gravitational force of planet P, given the mass and radius relationships between Earth and planet P. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand Escape Velocity Formula**: The escape velocity \( v \) from a celestial body is given by the formula: \[ v = \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}} \] where \( G \) is the gravitational constant, \( M \) is the mass of the body, and \( R \) is its radius. 2. **Define Mass and Radius of Planet P**: Let the mass of planet P be \( M_P \) and its radius be \( R_P \). According to the problem: - The mass of Earth \( M_E = 9M_P \) - The radius of Earth \( R_E = 2R_P \) 3. **Calculate Escape Velocity for Earth**: The escape velocity for Earth \( v_E \) is: \[ v_E = \sqrt{\frac{2GM_E}{R_E}} = \sqrt{\frac{2G(9M_P)}{2R_P}} = \sqrt{\frac{9GM_P}{R_P}} \] 4. **Calculate Escape Velocity for Planet P**: The escape velocity for planet P \( v_P \) is: \[ v_P = \sqrt{\frac{2GM_P}{R_P}} \] 5. **Relate Escape Velocities**: Now, we can express \( v_P \) in terms of \( v_E \): \[ v_P = \sqrt{\frac{2GM_P}{R_P}} = \sqrt{\frac{2G}{R_P}} \cdot M_P \] Substitute \( M_P \) from \( v_E \): \[ v_P = \sqrt{\frac{2G}{R_P}} \cdot \frac{R_P}{9} \cdot \frac{v_E}{\sqrt{9}} = \frac{v_E}{3} \] 6. **Set Up the Equation**: According to the problem, we have: \[ \frac{v_E}{3\sqrt{x}} = v_P \] Substituting \( v_P \): \[ \frac{v_E}{3\sqrt{x}} = \frac{v_E}{3} \] 7. **Solve for x**: By equating the two expressions: \[ \sqrt{x} = 1 \] Squaring both sides gives: \[ x = 2 \] ### Final Answer: Thus, the value of \( x \) is **2**.
