    When a satellite is revolving around the earth having radius r, then the escape velocity on the satellite will be:

    A)  \[\sqrt{2gR}\]

    B)  \[\sqrt{gR}\]

    C)  \[\sqrt{\frac{GR}{2}}\]

    D)  \[g{{R}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     Radius of earth = R (given) It is clear that when a satellite is revolving around the earth then the escape velocity. \[{{\upsilon }_{es}}=\sqrt{2gR}\] (where g is the acceleration due to gravity)
