The escape velocity from the surface of earth isve.A body is projected with velocity3ve.With what constant velocity will it move in the inter planetary space?

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

 If v be the velocity in the inter planetary space and Ui, Uf initial and final PE

Then, by the law of conservation of energy,

Ui+Ki=Uf+Kf

-GMemRe+12m3ve2=0+12mv2

-GMeRe+92ve2=12v2

  -2GMeRe+9Ve2=v2

  -2gRe2Re+9ve2=v2  GMe=gRe2

-2gRe+9×2gRe=v2     ve2=2gRe

16 gRe=v2
  v=8·2gRe=22ve
