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 answer
    D
    $11.2 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{s}$

Solution

Escape velocity does not depend on the angle of projection, hence escape velocity remains same.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
