Question

Escape velocity at earth's surface is 11.2 km/s. Escape velocity at the surface of a planet having mass 100 times and radius 4 times that of earth will be
  1. 56 km/s
  2. 112 km/s
  3. 305 km/s
  4. 11.2 km/s

A
11.2 km/s
B
305 km/s
C
112 km/s
D
56 km/s
Solution
Verified by Toppr

Ve=2gR
Ve=2GMR[g=GMR2]
Now,
11.1Km/hr=2GMR
V1e=2G(100M)4R
11.1V1e=15
V1e=55.5 Km/hr
