There are two planets. The ratio of radius of the two planets is K but ratio of acceleration due to gravity of both planets is g. What will be the ratio of their escape velocity
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
$v = \sqrt{2gR}$ ∴ ∴ $\frac{v_1}{v_2} = \sqrt{\frac{g_1}{g_2} \times \frac{R_1}{R_2}} = \sqrt{g \times K}$ = $(kg)^{1/2}$
