A) Escapes from the Planet's Gravitational field
B) Continues to move in a circular orbit
C) Falls vertically downwards towards the planet
D) Starts moving in an elliptical orbit around the planet
Correct Answer: D
Solution :
[d] \[{{\vec{p}}_{i}}={{\vec{p}}_{f}}\] \[\Rightarrow {{v}_{f}}=\frac{\left( mv+\frac{mv}{4} \right)}{\frac{3m}{2}}=\frac{5v}{6}\] \[{{v}_{f}}<{{v}_{i}}\Rightarrow \]Path will be elliptical
