NEET Physics Escape Velocity Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The escape velocity from the surface of the Earth depends on the gravitational constant, the mass of the Earth, and the radius of the Earth. | Reason (R): The escape velocity is derived using the principle of energy conservation, equating kinetic energy with gravitational potential energy.
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The assertion and reason both are correct as the escape velocity formula incorporates the gravitational constant, mass of the Earth, and radius of the Earth, derived from equating kinetic and potential energy.
