The correct Answer is:
To find the escape velocity of a planet with mass \(9 M_e\) and radius \(4 R_e\), we can use the formula for escape velocity: \[ V_e = \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}} \] Where: - \(V_e\) is the escape velocity, - \(G\) is the gravitational constant, - \(M\) is the mass of the planet, - \(R\) is the radius of the planet. ### Step 1: Substitute the mass and radius of the planet Given: - Mass of the planet \(M = 9 M_e\) - Radius of the planet \(R = 4 R_e\) Substituting these values into the escape velocity formula, we have: \[ V'_{e} = \sqrt{\frac{2G(9 M_e)}{4 R_e}} \] ### Step 2: Simplify the expression We can simplify the expression inside the square root: \[ V'_{e} = \sqrt{\frac{18 G M_e}{4 R_e}} = \sqrt{\frac{9 G M_e}{2 R_e}} \] ### Step 3: Relate to Earth's escape velocity The escape velocity on Earth is given by: \[ V_e = \sqrt{\frac{2GM_e}{R_e}} = 11.2 \times 10^3 \, \text{m/s} \] Now, we can express \(V'_{e}\) in terms of \(V_e\): \[ V'_{e} = \sqrt{9} \cdot \sqrt{\frac{2GM_e}{R_e}} \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} = 3 \cdot V_e \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the escape velocity Now substituting \(V_e\): \[ V'_{e} = 3 \cdot 11.2 \times 10^3 \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \, \text{m/s} \] Calculating \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \approx 0.707\): \[ V'_{e} = 3 \cdot 11.2 \times 10^3 \cdot 0.707 \, \text{m/s} \] Calculating \(3 \cdot 11.2 \cdot 0.707\): \[ V'_{e} \approx 3 \cdot 7.9 \times 10^3 \approx 23.7 \times 10^3 \, \text{m/s} \] ### Step 5: Convert to km/s To convert from m/s to km/s, we divide by \(1000\): \[ V'_{e} \approx 23.7 \, \text{km/s} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the escape velocity of the planet is approximately: \[ \boxed{23.7 \, \text{km/s}} \] ---
