The escape velocity of an object from the surface of the planet does not depend on the mass of the object.(a) True(b) FalseThis question was posed to me in examination.I need to ask this question from Gravitation topic in division Gravitation of Physics – Class 11

Answer» CORRECT option is (a) True

Easy explanation: The escape velocity of an object depends only on the MASS of the planet from which it is escaping and not the mass of the object. The relation is as given below;

Escape velocity (V) = [(2*G*M)/R]^1/2

R = RADIUS of planet

M = Mass of planet.
