$A$ body is thrown from the surface of the earth with velocity $V \ m/s$. The maximum height above the earth's surface up to which it will reach is ($R =$ radius of earth,$g =$ acceleration due to gravity).

  • A
    $\frac{VR^{2}}{gR-V}$
  • B
    $\frac{V^{2}R}{2gR-V^{2}}$
  • C
    $\frac{2gR}{V^{2}(R-1)}$
  • D
    $\frac{VR}{2gR-V}$

$A$ projectile is thrown straight upward from the Earth's surface with an initial speed $v = \alpha v_E$,where $\alpha$ is a constant and $v_E$ is the escape speed. The projectile travels up to a height $h = 800 \ km$ from the Earth's surface before it comes to rest. The value of the constant $\alpha$ is (Radius of the Earth $R = 6400 \ km$):

$A$ body starts from rest from a distance $R_0$ from the centre of the earth. The velocity acquired by the body when it reaches the surface of the earth will be ($R=$ radius of earth,$M=$ mass of earth).

$A$ body is projected vertically upwards from the earth's surface. If its kinetic energy of projection is equal to half of its minimum value required to escape from the gravitational influence,then the height up to which it rises is ($R =$ radius of the earth).
