The ratio of the acceleration due to gravity on two planetsP1andP2isK1. The ratio of their respective radii isK2. The ratio of their respective escape velocities is

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

Since escape velocity from the surface of a planet can be written as v e = 2gR
ratio v e p 1 v e p 2 = 2 g p 1   R p 1 2 g p 2   R p 2      =  K 1 K 2
