You find yourself on a planet (Radius = 2.33 x 107m where a 2.00 kg mass has a weight of 32.0 N. What is the escape velocity from this planet ?
Given:
g(on this planet)= 16 m/s2
R = 2.33 x 107
and we have G = 6.67 × 10-11 Newtons kg-2 m2 as universal constant,
As we know the value of g on earth is given by
and value of escape velocity on earth is given by
from both above equation we get
now in this putting the given values of g and R of other planet we get,
m/s ...............answer
