Gravitation Ques 59

59. For a satellite escape velocity is $11$ $ km / s$. If the satellite is launched at an angle of $60^{\circ}$ with the vertical, then escape velocity will be

[1989]

(a) $11$ $ km / s$

(b) $11 \sqrt{3} $ $km / s$

(c) $\frac{11}{\sqrt{3}}$ $ km / s$

(d) $33 $ $km / s$

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 59.(a)

Solution:

  1. (a) Since, escape velocity $(v_e=\sqrt{2 g R_e})$ is independent of angle of projection, so it will not change.
