If a rocket is fired with a velocity, V=2√gR near the Earth's surface and goes upwards, its speed in the inter-stellar space is
A satellite is revolving in a circular orbit at a height ‘h’ from the earth’s surface (radius of earth R ; h<<R). The minimum increase in its orbital velocity required, so that the satellite could escape from the earth’s gravitational field, is close to : (Neglect the effect of atmosphere.)
A rocket of mass M is launched vertically from the surface of the earth with an initial speed V. Assuming the radius of the earth to be R and negligible air resistance, the maximum height attained by the rocket above the surface of the earth is
