Escape velocity of a body of 1 kg mass on a planet is 100m/sec. Gravitational potential energy of the body at the planet isA) -500 JB) -1000 JC) -2400 JD) -5000 J |
|
Answer» D) -5000 J Explanations: Escape velocity is given by formula Ve = √ 2Gm/R Now gravitational potential energy UG = -GMm/R UG = -1/2 mve2 UG = (1*1002)/2 UG = -5000 J |
