Escape velocity of Jupiter is
Correct answer: B. 61
- A. 37
- B. 61
- C. 25.4
- D. 22.4
Explanation
The escape velocity of a planet is the minimum velocity that an object must have to escape the gravitational pull of the planet. It is given by the formula:v = √(2GM/R)where:v is the escape velocityG is the gravitational constantM is the mass of the planetR is the radius of the planetThe escape velocity of Jupiter is approximately 61 km/s

About Work and Energy
Work transfers energy when a force causes displacement, while kinetic energy, gravitational potential energy and power describe motion, position and the rate of energy transfer. The work-energy theorem links net work with change in kinetic energy, and efficiency accounts for energy losses rather than treating them as energy destruction.
