When escape velocity is given to a particle on surface of earth, its total energy isA. zeroB. greater than zeroC. less than zeroD. `-GMm//2R`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
At `v lt v_(e)`, total energy is negative
`v = v_(e)`, total energy is zero and
`v gt v_(e)` total enegry is positive
So, with the reference to above given cases, it can be said that when the escape velocity is given to a particle, its total energy is zero.
