    A body is projected up from the surface of the earth with a velocity equal to \[\frac{3}{4}\]of its escape velocity. If R be the radius of 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 :

                     If body is projected with velocity\[v(v<{{v}_{e}}),\]then height upto which it will rise, \[h=\frac{R}{\frac{v_{e}^{2}}{{{v}^{2}}}-1}\] \[v=\frac{3}{4}{{v}_{e}}\]                               (given) \[\therefore \]  \[h=\frac{R}{\frac{v_{e}^{2}}{\frac{9}{16}v_{e}^{2}}-1}=\frac{9}{7}R\]
