    If a rocket is fixed with a speed, \[v=2\sqrt{gR}\] near the earth's surface and coasts upwards, its speed in the interstellar space is

    A)  \[4\sqrt{gR}\]             

    B)  \[\sqrt{2gR}\]

    C)  \[\sqrt{gR}\]               

    D)  \[\sqrt{4gR}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     According to law of conservation of energy. \[\frac{1}{2}\,m{{v}^{2}}\,-\frac{GMm}{R}=\frac{1}{2}\,mv_{1}^{2}\,+0\] \[\frac{1}{2}\,mv_{1}^{2}=\frac{1}{2}\,m{{v}^{2}}-\frac{GMm}{R}\] \[v_{1}^{2}={{v}^{2}}-\frac{2GM}{R}={{v}^{2}}-v_{e}^{2}\] \[\therefore \]    \[{{v}_{1}}=\sqrt{{{v}^{2}}-v_{e}^{2}}=\sqrt{4gR-2gR}=\sqrt{2gR}\]
