Q. No.A rocket is fired vertically upward with a speed of \(\dfrac{v_e}{\sqrt2}\) from the Earth's surface, where \(v_e\) is escape velocity on the surface of Earth. The distance from the surface of Earth upto which the rocket can go before returning to the Earth is:
(given, the radius of Earth \(=6400~\text{km}\) )
1. \(1600~\text{km}\)
2. \(3200~\text{km}\)
3. \(6400~\text{km}\)
4. \(12800~\text{km}\)

If the escape velocity from the surface of Earth is denoted by \(v,\) then what would be the escape velocity from the surface of a planet whose mass is \(9\) times and radius is \(16\) times that of Earth?
| 1. | \(\dfrac{v}{3}\) | 2. | \(\dfrac{2v}{3}\) |
| 3. | \(\dfrac{3v}{4}\) | 4. | \(\dfrac{9v}{4}\) |

The escape velocity of a body on the earth's surface is \(11.2~\text{km/s}.\) If the same body is projected upward with a velocity \(22.4~\text{km/s},\) the velocity of this body at an infinite distance from the centre of the earth will be:
| 1. | \(11.2\sqrt2~\text{km/s}\) | 2. | zero |
| 3. | \(11.2~\text{km/s}\) | 4. | \(11.2\sqrt3~\text{km/s}\) |

A particle of mass \(m\) is projected with a velocity, \(v=kv_{e} ~(k<1)\) from the surface of the earth. The maximum height, above the surface, reached by the particle is:
(Where \(v_e=\) escape velocity, \(R=\) the radius of the earth)
| 1. | \(\dfrac{R^{2}k}{1+k}\) | 2. | \(\dfrac{Rk^{2}}{1-k^{2}}\) |
| 3. | \(R\left ( \dfrac{k}{1-k} \right )^{2}\) | 4. | \(R\left ( \dfrac{k}{1+k} \right )^{2}\) |
