Answer Key / Explanation : (c) -
|
(c) At a certain velocity of projection of the body will go out of the gravitational field of earth and never to return to earth. The initial velocity is called escape velocity
Where |
is acceleration due to gravity and 
the radius. As is clear from above formula, that escape velocity dose not depends upon mass of body hence, it will be same for a body of 100kg as for 1kg body.127 votes
