A particle is thrown vertically upwards with velocity from the surface of earth. Calculate its velocity at height . Where is the radius of earth.
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
B.
Step-by-step solution
Let a particle of mass is thrown vertically upward with velocity . Let its velocity be at a height from the surface of the earth. According to the conservation of energy,
=\sqrt{(11.2)^2-\frac{3}{2} \times \frac{9.8 \times 6400}{1000}}
=\sqrt{(11.2)^2-(94.08)}
=5.6 \mathrm{~km} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}
