Q1medium

The escape velocity from the surface of Earth is vev_e. The escape velocity from the surface of a planet whose radius is four times that of Earth and mass is 16 times that of Earth will be:

Q2easy

If the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of a planet is gPg_P and its radius is RPR_P, then the escape velocity from its surface is:

Q3hard

An object of mass mm is projected from the surface of a planet of mass MM and radius RR with a velocity v=2vev = 2v_e, where vev_e is the escape velocity. What will be its velocity when it is at a very large distance from the planet?

Q4medium

The ratio of escape velocity on Earth (vEv_E) to the escape velocity on the Moon (vMv_M) is approximately (Given: Mass of Earth ME=81MMM_E = 81 M_M, Radius of Earth RE=4RMR_E = 4 R_M)

Q5medium

The escape velocity from Earth's surface is 11.2km/s11.2\,\text{km/s}. A body is projected with a velocity 22.4km/s22.4\,\text{km/s}. What is the velocity of the body at infinite distance from Earth?

Q6medium

If a planet has a mass MM and radius RR, and its density is uniform, how does its escape velocity depend on its radius RR?

Q7medium

What is the minimum energy required to launch a satellite of mass mm from the surface of Earth (mass MM, radius RR) to an infinite distance?
