A body is projected vertically upwards from the surface of a planet of radius fl with a velocity equal to half the escape velocity for that planet. The maximum height attained by the body is

a
R/3
b
R/2
c
R/4
d
R/5

detailed solution

Correct option is A

When the body goes up, thenDecrease in K.E, = Increase in P.E.∴ 12mv2−0=mg1+(h/R)hor 12m2gR22=mg1+(h/R)h ∵ve=2gR)mgR4=mgh1+(h/R)or R1+hR=4h or R+h=4h or R=3h∴ h=R3
