The orbital velocity of a body near the surface of a planet ' A ' is equal to escape velocity of a body from the planet ' B '. If the masses of planets A and B are same, the ratio of their radii is
Options
- A1
- B1 2
- C1 3
- D2
Correct answer
B. 1 2
Step-by-step solution
Orbital velocity of a body of planet A, V _ A = GM _ A r _ A Escape velocity of a body of planet B, aligned & V _ B = 2 GM _ B r _ B & V _ A = V _ B & GM _ A r _ A = 2 GM _ B r _ B ( M _ A = M _ B ) & r _ A r _ B = 1 2 aligned
