The escape Velocity from the earth is `11.2 Km//s`. The escape Velocity from a planet having twice the radius and the same mean density as the earth, is :A. `22 km//s`B. `11 km//s`C. `5.5 km//s`D. `15.5 km//s`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
`v_(e)=sqrt((GM)/R)=sqrt((G rho.4/3piR^(3))/R)=sqrt(4/3piPGR^(2)) implies v prop R`
`(v_(p))/(v_(e))=(2R)/R=2 implies v_(p)=2v_(e)=2xx11=22 km//s`
