The escape velocity from a planet depends on:
Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation:
Escape velocity v_e = √(2GM/R), where M is planet mass, R its radius. Thus v_e depends on both M and R. It is independent of the escaping body's mass (as gravitational and inertial mass cancel). Memory tip: 'v_e ∝ √(M/R); larger M or smaller R ⇒ higher escape velocity'. This gravitation formula application is frequently tested in competitive exams. Always recall that escape velocity is a property of the planet, not the projectile. This problem assesses understanding of gravitational potential energy concepts.
