A body of mass m is projected with velocity λ v e in vertically upward direction from the surface of the earth into space. It is given that v e is escape velocity and λ<1. If air resistance is considered to be negligible, then the maximum height from the centre of earth, to which the body can go, will be: (R: radius of earth)

A body of mass

\mathrm{m}

is projected with velocity

\lambda \,v_{\mathrm{e}}

in vertically upward direction from the surface of the earth into space. It is given that

v_{\mathrm{e}}

is escape velocity and

\lambda<1

. If air resistance is considered to be negligible, then the maximum height from the centre of earth, to which the body can go, will be : (R : radius of earth)
