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

U= -1/2 mve2

U= (1*1002)/2

U= -5000 J
