If $v_{e}$ is escape velocity and $v_{o}$ is orbital velocity of a satellite for orbit close to the Earth's surface, then these are related by

Options:

Answer:

Solution:

Orbital velocity of satellite $v_{o} = \frac{GM}{R}$ ...(i) and escape velocity of satellite $v_{e} = \frac{2 GM}{R}$ ...(ii) Hence, $v_{e} = 2 v_{o}$
