MHT CET 2024 Physics question
Earth mass radius and moon mass and radius . Distance between their centres is 'r'. A body of mass 'M' is placed on the line joining them at a distance from the centre of the earth. To project a mass 'M' to escape to infinity, the minimum speed required is
Answer: (D)
Solution
The body is at distance from the earth's centre and from the moon's centre. Gravitational potential energy of the body due to both bodies: . To escape to infinity the total
