Does the escape speed of a body from the Earth depend on(a) the mass of the body(b) the location from where it is projected(c) the direction of projection(d) the height of the location from where the body is launched?Explain your answer. |
Answer» (a) The escape speed of a body is independant of the mass of a body (b) The escape speed of a body depends upon the location (c) The escape speed of a body is independent of the direction of projection (d) The escape speed of a body depends upon the height of the location from where the body is projected, because the escape velocity depends upon the gravitational potential at the point from which it is projected and this potential depends upon height also. |
