 A ball of mass m is fired vertically upward from the surface of the earth with velocity nvewhere ve is the escape velocity and n < 1. Neglecting air resistance, to what height will the ball rise ? Take radius of the earth as R

a
R/n2
b
R/1−n2
c
Rn2/1−n2
d
Rn2

detailed solution

Correct option is C

According to this problem12mv2=GMmR−GMm(R+h)=GMmhR(R+h)=mgh(R+h) ∵g=GMRFurther 12mv2=12mn2ve2=12mn2(2gR) ∵ve=2gR∴ 12mn2(2gR)=mgh(R+h)Solving, we get h=Rn2/1−n2
