STANDARD Physics Escape Velocity MCQ Question
The escape velocity of 10 g body from the Earth is 11.2 km s⁻¹. Ignoring air resistance, the escape velocity of 10 kg of the iron ball from the Earth will be
0.0112 km s⁻¹
0.112 km s⁻¹
11.2 km s⁻¹
0.56 km s⁻¹
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Escape velocity is independent of the mass of the object. Therefore, the escape velocity for any object from Earth remains the same, which is 11.2 km s⁻¹.
