Questions
The masses and radii of the earth and moon arc M1, R1 and M2, R2, respectively. Their centres are distance d apart. The minimum velocity with which a particle of mass m should be projected from a point midway between their centres so that it escapes to infinity is
detailed solution
Correct option is A
Gravitational potential at mid pointV=−GM1d/2+−GM2d/2 Now, PE=m×V=−2GmdM1+M2[m = mass of particle]So, for projecting particle from mid point to infinityKE=|PE|⇒12mv2=2GmdM1+M2⇒v=2GM1+M2dTalk to our academic expert!
