Question
A spherical uniform planet is rotating about its axis. The velocity of a point on its equator is V. Due to the rotation of planet about its axis the acceleration due to gravity g at equator is 1/2 of g at poles. The escape velocity of a particle on the planet in terms of V.
- Ve = 2V
- Ve = V
- Ve = V/2
- Ve =
V
V
The correct answer is: Ve = 2V
