  • question_answer
    A body is projected up from the surface of the 3 earth with a velocity equal to \[\frac{3}{4}\] th of its escape velocity. If R be the radius of the earth, the height it reaches is -

    A) \[\frac{3R}{10}\]           

    B)                    \[\frac{9R}{7}\]

    C) \[\frac{8R}{5}\]            

    D)        \[\frac{9R}{5}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] Apply C.O.M.E. \[\frac{1}{2}m{{V}^{2}}=\frac{mgh}{\left( 1+\frac{h}{R} \right)}\] \[V=\frac{3}{4}{{V}_{e}}=\frac{3}{4}\sqrt{2gR}\,({{V}_{e}}=\sqrt{2gR})\] \[\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{9}{16}\times 2gR=\frac{gh}{1+\frac{h}{R}}\Rightarrow h=\frac{9R}{7}\]
