The correct answer is:
According to the principal of conservation of energy,
Initial kinetic energy + initial potential energy,
= final kinetic energy + final potential energy
..... (i)
As consider, escape velocity
........ (ii)
From equation (i) and (ii), we get
...... (iii)
Now, .... (iv)
From equation (iii) and (iv), we get
Speed of the body far away from the Earth,
Initial kinetic energy + initial potential energy,
= final kinetic energy + final potential energy
..... (i)
As consider, escape velocity
........ (ii)
From equation (i) and (ii), we get
...... (iii)
Now, .... (iv)
From equation (iii) and (iv), we get
Speed of the body far away from the Earth,
