Question

The escape velocity of a body depends upon its mass as
  1. m1
  2. m3
  3. m2
  4. m0

A
m3
B
m0
C
m1
D
m2
Solution
Verified by Toppr

Escape speed of a body from Earth's surface is given by: vmin=2gR
As we can see from the above equation, there is no 'mass' term. Implies it can be written as m0.
So, the escape speed of a body is independent of its mass.

A moving body with a mass m1 and velocity u strikes a stationary body of mass m2. The masses m1 and m2 should be in the ratio m1/m2 so as to decrease the velocity of the first body to 2u/3 and giving a velocity of v to m2 assuming a perfectly elastic impact. Then the ratio m1/m2 is :
