1. The escape velocity for the earth is \[v_{e}\] . The escape velocity for a planet whose radius is four times
and density is nine times that of the earth, is
a) \[36v_{e}\]
b) \[12v_{e}\]
c) \[6v_{e}\]
d) \[20v_{e}\]
Explanation:
2. The escape velocity for a body projected vertically upwards from the surface of earth is 11 km/s. If the body is projected at an angle of \[45^{\circ}\] with the
vertical, the escape velocity will be
a) \[\frac{11}{\sqrt{2}}km/s\]
b) \[11\sqrt{2}km/s\]
c) 22 km/s
d) 11 km/s
Explanation: Escape velocity does not depends upon the angle of projection.
3. If V, R and g denote respectively the escape velocity from the surface of the earth radius of the earth, and acceleration due to gravity, then
the correct equation is
a) \[v=\sqrt{gR}\]
b) \[v=\sqrt{\frac{4}{3}gR^{3}}\]
c) \[v=R\sqrt{g}\]
d) \[v=\sqrt{2gR}\]
Explanation: \[v=\sqrt{2gR}\]
4. The escape velocity for a body of mass 1 kg from the earth surface is \[11.2 kms^{-1}\] . The escape velocity for a body of mass 100 kg would be
a) \[11.2 \times 10^{2}kms^{-1}\]
b) \[11.2 kms^{-1}\]
c) \[11.2 \times 10^{-2}kms^{-1}\]
d) None of these
Explanation: Escape velocity is independent of mass of object
5.The acceleration due to gravity on a planet is same as that on earth and its radius is four times that of earth. What will be the value of escape
velocity on that planet if it is \[v_{e}\] on earth
a) \[v_{e}\]
b) 2\[v_{e}\]
c) 4\[v_{e}\]
d) \[\frac{v_{e}}{2}\]
Explanation:
6. If the radius of a planet is four times that of earth and the value of g is same for both, the escape velocity on the planet will be
a) 11.2 km / s
b) 5.6 km / s
c) 22.4 km / s
d) None
Explanation:
7. If the radius and acceleration due to gravity both are doubled, escape velocity of earth will become
a) 11.2 km/s
b) 22.4 km/s
c) 5.6 km/s
d) 44.8 km/s
Explanation:
8.A planet has twice the radius but the mean density is\[\frac{1}{4}th\] as compared to earth. What is the ratio of escape velocity from earth to that from
the planet
a) 3 : 1
b) 1 : 2
c) 1 : 1
d) 2 : 1
Explanation:
9. The escape velocity from earth is \[v_{es}\] . A body is projected with velocity \[2v_{es}\] with what constant
velocity will it move in the inter planetary space
a) \[v_{es}\]
b) \[3v_{es}\]
c) \[\sqrt{3}v_{es}\]
d) \[\sqrt{5}v_{es}\]
Explanation:
10. A particle of mass 10 g is kept on the surface of a
uniform sphere of mass 100 kg and radius 10 cm.

force between them to take the particle far away
from the sphere \[\left(G=6.67\times10^{-11}Nm^{2}\diagup kg^{2}\right)\]
a) \[6.67\times10^{-9}J\]
b) \[6.67\times10^{-10}J\]
c) \[13.34\times10^{-10}J\]
d) \[3.33\times10^{-10}J\]
Explanation:
