Physics · NEET · NTA Exams — Gravitation
The escape velocity for a body projected vertically upwards from the surface of the Earth is 11.2 km/s. If the body is projected at an angle of \(45^{\circ}\) with the vertical, the escape velocity will be
- \(\frac{11}{\sqrt{2}} \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{s}\)
- \(11 \sqrt{2} \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{s}\)
- 2 km/s
- 11.2 km/s
Answer
(D) 11.2 km/s
