If earth has a mass nine times and radius twice to the of a planet P . Then v e 3 x m s - 1 will be the…
Solution
The formula to calculate the escape velocity for the Earth is given by
where, is the Universal Gravitational constant, is the mass and is the radius of Earth.
The formula for the escape velocity of any planet is given by
where, is the mass and is the radius of the planet.
Given that the mass of the planet is times the mass of the Earth and the radius of the planet is times the radius of the Earth.
Substitute for and for into equation (2) and simplify to obtain the escape velocity for the planet in terms of that in Earth.
Comparing equation (3) with the given expression, it can be written that
