A body is projected up with a velocity equal to3/4thof the escape velocity from the surface of the earth. The height it reaches is, (Radius of earth=R)

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

Escape velocity for the earth is

ve=2GMR

Given the velocity projection of the body

=v=34ve=34 2GMR

Total energy on the earth

=Total energy at maximum height h

12mv2+-GMmR=0+-GMmR+h

12m . 916. 2GMR-GMmR=-GMmR+h

916-1=- RR+hor-RR+h=-716

7R+7h=16 R

7h=9Rh=97R
