A planet in a distant solar system is 10 times more massive than the earth and its radius is 10 times smaller. Given that the escape velocity from the earth is 11 km s^(-1), the escape velocity from the surface of the planet would be :

Answer»

`1.1km s^(-1)`
`11 KM s^(-1)`
`110 km s^(-1)`
`0.11km s^(-1)`

Solution :`((V_(e ))_(2))/((V_(e ))_(1))=(sqrt((2GM_(2))/(R_(2))))/(sqrt((2GM_(1))/(R_(1))))=sqrt((M_(2))/(M_(1))XX(R_(1))/(R_(2)))=sqrt(10xx10)=10`
`therefore (V_(e))_(2)=10xx11=110km//s`
So CORRECT choice is (c )`.
