Question

The mass of the moon is 1 144 times the mass of a planet and its diameter 1 16 times the diameter of a planet. If the escape velocity on the planet is v, the escape velocity on the moon will be:, v 3, v 4, v 12, v 6

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

As we know, escape velocity is given by, v escape = 2 G M R Now, v planet = 2 G M R = v v Moon = 2 G M × 16 144 × R = 1 3 2 G M R = v 3
