A particle is projected vertically upwards from the surface of the Earth (radius R) with kinetic energy equal to half of the minimum value needed for it to escape. The height h to which it rises above the surface of Earth is
- \(h=\frac{R}{2}\)
- \(h=\frac{Z h}{3}\)
- h = R
- \(h=\frac{3}{2} R\)
Answer
(C) h = R
