NEET 2023 Phase 2 · PhysicsEscape energyPrevious Year Question

The escape velocity of a body from the earth's surface is 11.2 km/s. If the same body is projected upward with velocity 22.4 km/s, its velocity at infinite distance from the centre of the earth will be:

Answer: (B) 11.2√3 km/s. Correct Answer (B): 11.2√3 km/s Solution: ½v∞² = ½u² − ½vₑ² with u = 2vₑ: v∞² = (4−1)vₑ² = 3vₑ² ⇒ v∞ = 11.2√3 km/s.

  1. A.11.2 km/s
  2. B.11.2√3 km/s
  3. C.11.2√2 km/s
  4. D.Zero

Correct Answer

(B) 11.2√3 km/s

Solution & Explanation

Correct Answer (B): 11.2√3 km/s Solution: ½v∞² = ½u² − ½vₑ² with u = 2vₑ: v∞² = (4−1)vₑ² = 3vₑ² ⇒ v∞ = 11.2√3 km/s.

PhysA particle of mass m is projected with velocity u = k·vₑ (k < 1) from the earth's surface (vₑ = escape velocity). The maximum height above the surface reached by the particle is:PhysAn electric dipole with dipole moment 5 × 10⁻⁶ C·m is aligned with the direction of a uniform electric field of magnitude 4 × 10⁵ N/C. The dipole is then rotated through an angle of 60° with respect to the electric field. The change in the potential energy of the dipole is:PhysTwo identical charged conducting spheres A and B have their centres separated by a certain distance. Charge on each sphere is q and the force of repulsion between them is F. A third identical uncharged conducting sphere is brought in contact with sphere A first and then with B and finally removed from both. New force of repulsion between spheres A and B (radii negligible vs separation, treated as point charges) is best given as:PhysThe plates of a parallel plate capacitor are separated by d. Two slabs of different dielectric constant K1 and K2 with thickness 3d/8 and d/2 respectively are inserted in the capacitor. Due to this, the capacitance becomes two times larger than when there is nothing between the plates. If K1/K2 = 1.25, the value of K1 is:PhysA sphere of radius R is carved out of a uniform solid sphere of radius 2R (internally tangent, so its centre is at distance R from the big centre). The ratio of the moment of inertia of the small sphere to that of the remaining part, both about the Y-axis through the big sphere's centre, is:PhysThe Sun rotates once in 27 days. If it expanded to twice its present radius (uniform-density sphere, no external influence), its new period would be about:PhysA uniform rod of mass 20 kg and length 5 m leans against a smooth vertical wall, making 60° with the wall; its lower end rests on a rough horizontal floor. The friction force exerted by the floor is: (g = 10 m/s²)PhysA bob of mass m is suspended by a light string of length l and given a horizontal velocity v₀ at the lowest point. The string goes slack at a point P where it makes an angle θ above the horizontal. The ratio of the speed v at P to the initial speed v₀ is:
