Q.

Two spherical planets P and Q have the same uniform density ρ, masses MP and MQ, and surface areas A and 4A, respectively. A spherical planet R also has uniform density ρ and its mass is MP+MQ. The escape velocities from the planets P,Q and R, are vP,vQ and vR. respectively. Then,

Detailed Solution

Surface area of Q is four times. Therefore, radius of Q is two times. Volume is eight times. Therefore, mass of Q is also eight times.

So, let MP=M and RP=r

Then, MQ=8M and RQ=2r

Now, mass of R is MP+MQ or 9M. Therefore, radius of R is (9)1/3r. Now, escape velocity from the surface of a planet is given by

       v=2GMr  (r= radius of that planet )

vp=2GMr

    vQ=2G(8.f)(2r)

    vR=2G(9M)(9)1/3r

From here, we can see that

vPvQ=12 and vR>vQ>vP
