Question
Escape velocity of a body when projected from the earth’s surface is 11.2km/sec. If it is projected at an angle of 50o from the horizontal, then escape velocity is :
Options
A.12.8km/sec
B.16.2 km/sec
C.11.2 km/sec
D.11.8 mk/sec
Solution
Escape velocity does not depend on the direction of throw of object. This becausegravitational field is a conservative field.
