If earth has a mass 9 times and radius twice that of a planet mars, calculate the minimum velocity required by a rocket to pull out of gravitation force of mars. Take the escape velocity on the surface of earth to be 11.2km s^-1

Given,

or

escape speed is given as

v = (2GM / R)1/2

here

M is the mass of the planet

R is the radius of the planet

 

now, for Mars

vm = (2GM/ Rm)1/2

for earth

ve = (2GM/ Re)1/2 = 11.2 km/s

we are given

Mm = Me/9

and Rm = Re/2

thus, we have

vm = (2GM/ Rm)1/2 =  (2G(M/9) /  (Re/2))1/2

or

vm = (2/9)1/2 . (2GM/ Re)1/2 = (2/9)1/2.ve

thus,

vm = 0.4714 x ve

or

vm = 0.4714 x 11.2

so, the escape speed of Mars will be

vm = 5.27 km/s

= 7.47 km/sec.
