A projectile is launched from the surface of earth with a velocity less than the escape velocity. Its total mechanical energy isA. positiveB. negativeC. zeroD. dependes upon initial velocity |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - B The potential energy at infinity is taken as `0`. The total minimum energy at infinity in case of the escape velocity should be `0`. If an object thrown with velocity less than escape velocity will have energy less than zero, i.e. negative. |
