The escape velocity of a body on earth which is independent of its mass is about ______________________ km/second?

Correct answer: C. 11

  • A. 3
  • B. 7
  • C. 11
  • D. 15

Explanation

Escape velocity is given by √(2gR), so the body's mass cancels from the equation. Using Earth's radius and gravity gives approximately 11.2 km/s.
