Formula for Escape velocity (Ve)from a body of mass M and radius r ?
-
Ve= sqrt((2G)/r)
-
Ve= sqrt(2GMr)
-
Ve= sqrt((2GM)/r)
-
Ve= srt((2GM)/r)
C
Correct answer
Explanation
The escape velocity formula is Ve = sqrt(2GM/r), where G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of the celestial body, and r is its radius. Option C correctly shows this formula. Option A is missing M in the numerator, Option B incorrectly multiplies by r (instead of dividing), and Option D has a typo ('srt' instead of 'sqrt').
