Escape velocity of a body from Earth is 11.2 km/s. For a planet with mass 9 times Earth and radius same, escape velocity is MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Escape velocity of a body from Earth is 11.2 km/s. For a planet with mass 9 times Earth and radius same, escape velocity is
A. 22.4 km/s
B. 33.6 km/s
C. 3.73 km/s
D. 11.2 km/s
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
v_esc ∝ √M. M'=9M => v'=3×11.2=33.6 km/s.

Question #2
If a hollow metal sphere is positively charged, the electric field strictly inside the sphere is:
A. Depends on the radius
B. Positive and uniform
C. Negative and uniform
D. Zero

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
According to Gauss's Law in electrostatics, all excess charge on a conducting body resides entirely on its outer surface. Since there is no net charge enclosed within the hollow interior, the electric flux and consequently the electric field everywhere inside the hollow conducting sphere is exactly zero.

Question #3
The de Broglie wavelength associated with a moving particle is inversely proportional to its:
A. Mass only
B. Velocity only
C. Kinetic energy
D. Momentum

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Louis de Broglie proposed that matter exhibits wave-like properties. The de Broglie wavelength (lambda) of a particle is given by the formula lambda = h / p, where 'h' is Planck's constant and 'p' is the linear momentum (mass * velocity) of the particle. Therefore, the wavelength is strictly inversely proportional to the momentum of the moving particle.
