Your Ultimate Guide to JEE & NEET Question Solutions

The escape velocity of a projectile from the earth is approximately .......... $km/sec$

A

$0.112$

B

$112$

C

$11.2$

D

$11200$

The escape velocity of a projectile from the earth is approximately .......... $km/sec$

Escape velocity $=\sqrt{2 g R}$

$\Rightarrow \quad V_{e}=\sqrt{2 \times 10 \times 6400 \times 1000}$

$\Rightarrow \quad V_{e}=11.2 \mathrm{Km} / \mathrm{sec}$
