The escape velocity of body from the earth is 
Ignoring air resistance, the escape velocity of 10 kg of the iron ball from the earth will be
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
Escape velocity is independent of the mass of the projected body provided the air resistance
is neglected. Hence, the escape velocity of 10 kg 10 kg of the iron ball projected from the earth is same that of escape velocity of 10 g 10 g projected from the earth i.e.,
