    A body is projected up with a velocity equal to 3/4th of the escape velocity from the surface of the earth. The height it reaches from the centre of the earth is: (Radius of the earth = R):

    A) \[\frac{10R}{9}\]

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

    C)                    \[\frac{9\,R}{8}\]

    D)                    \[\frac{10\,R}{3}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Decrease in KE = Increase in PE \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\frac{1}{2}\,m\,{{\left( \frac{3}{4}{{v}_{e}} \right)}^{2}}\,\,-0=\frac{mgh}{1+\frac{h}{R}}\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\frac{9}{12}\,\,m{{v}^{2}}_{e}\,=\,\,\frac{mgh}{1+\frac{h}{R}}\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\frac{9}{32}\,\,\frac{2GM}{R}\,=\,\,\frac{gh}{1+\frac{h}{R}}\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\frac{9}{16}\,\frac{g{{R}^{2}}}{R}\,\,=\,\,\frac{gh}{1+\frac{h}{R}}\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\frac{9}{16}\,R\,\,=\,\,\frac{h}{1+\frac{h}{R}}\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\frac{9}{16}\,R\,\,+\,\,\frac{9}{16}\,h=h\] \[9R\,\,+\,\,9h\,\,=\,\,16h\] \[7h=9R\] \[h=\frac{9}{7}R\]
