If the radius of the earth is 6.4 x 10\(^6\)m, the escape velocity of a satellite from the earth is?
[g = 10 ms-2]

A.

1.13 x 104 ms-1

B.

9.00 x 103 ms-1

C.

8.00 x 103 ms-1

D.

1.27 x 104 ms-1

Correct answer is A

V = √2GM/R.

=√[2 x 6.67 x 10\(^{-11}\) x 6.0 x 10\(^24\)] / 6.4 x 10\(^6\)

= √12.506 x 10\(^7\)

= 11,183.13

OR

V =√2gR

V=√[2 * 10 *  6.4 x 10\(^6\)] 

V = √128,000,000
