Q153 / 180 · COMEDK 2024 (Memory Based) · Physics
The escape velocity is $11.2 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{s}$. If a body is to be projected in a direction making an angle $60^{\circ}$ to the vertical, then the escape velocity is
- A$11.2 \times \sqrt{2} \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{s}$
- B$\frac{11.2}{\sqrt{2}} \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{s}$
- C$11.2 \sqrt{3} \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{s}$
- Correct answerD$11.2 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{s}$
Solution
Escape velocity does not depend on the angle of projection, hence escape velocity remains same.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
