Escape velocity of a body `1 kg` mass on a planet is `100 ms^(-1)`. Gravitational potential energy of the body at that planet isA. `-5000 J`B. `-1000 J`C. `-2400 J`D. `5000 J`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
`upsilon_(e) = sqrt((2GM)/(R )) = 100 ms^(-1)`
or `(GM)/(R ) = ((100)^(2))/(2) = 5000`
`P.E., U = - (GM)/(R ) = - 5000 J`
