MHT CET 2023 Physics question
A body is projected vertically from earth's surface with velocity equal to half the escape velocity. The maximum height reached by the satellite is (R = radius of earth)
Answer: (C)
Solution
Escape velocity , so the projection speed is , i.e. . Conservation of energy from the surface to the highest point (at distance from the centre, where speed is zero): .
