  1. 1 Gravitation Easy
    Two planets $P_1$ and $P_2$ with equal mass have radii $R_1$ and $R_2$, respectively, where $R_2=\frac{R_1}{2}$. The escape speeds of $P_1$ and $P_2$ are $v_1$ and $v_2$, respectively. Then $\frac{v_2}{v_1}$ is:

  1. 2 Gravitation Easy
    The escape velocity from the Earth's surface is $v$. The escape velocity from the surface of another planet having a radius, four times that of Earth and same mass density is:

  1. 3 Gravitation Easy
    A particle of mass m is thrown upwards from the surface of the earth, with a velocity u. The mass and the radius of the earth are, respectively, M and R. G is gravitational constant and g is acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the earth. The minimum value of u so that the particle does not return back to earth is

  1. 4 Gravitation Easy
    For a planet having mass equal to mass of the earth but radius one fourth of radius of the earth, then escape velocity for this planet will be
