Question:medium
A spherically uniform planet of mass \( 8 \times 10^{24} \) kg and of radius \( 6 \times 10^6 \) m is orbiting around the Sun. The escape velocity for the planet is close to (Take \( G = 6 \times 10^{-11} \text{ N m}^2\text{kg}^{-2} \)) (A) 11.2 km/s
A spherically uniform planet of mass \( 8 \times 10^{24} \) kg and of radius \( 6 \times 10^6 \) m is orbiting around the Sun. The escape velocity for the planet is close to (Take \( G = 6 \times 10^{-11} \text{ N m}^2\text{kg}^{-2} \)) (A) 11.2 km/s
Show Hint
Escape velocity depends only on \(M\) and \(R\).
