उत्तर
The particle attained a maximum height 6400 km, which is equal to the radius of the Earth.
Total energy of the particle on the Earth's surface is given by \[E_e = \frac{1}{2} M V^2 + \left( \frac{- gmM}{r} \right) . . . . \left( 1 \right)\]
Now, total energy of the particle at the maximum height is given by
\[E_3 = \left( \frac{- GMm}{R + h} \right) + 0\]
\[ \Rightarrow E_3 = \left( \frac{- GMm}{2R} \right) . . . \left( 2 \right) \left( \therefore g = R \right)\]
\[- \frac{GMm}{R} + \frac{1}{2}m v^2 = - \frac{GMm}{2R}\]
\[ \Rightarrow \left( \frac{1}{2} \right)m v^2 = GMm\left( - \frac{1}{2R} + \frac{1}{R} \right)\]
\[ \Rightarrow v^2 = \frac{GM}{R}\]
\[ = \frac{6 . 67 \times {10}^{- 11} \times 6 \times {10}^{24}}{6400 \times {10}^3}\]
\[ = \frac{40 . 02 + {10}^{13}}{6 . 4 \times {10}^6}\]
\[ = 6 . 2 \times {10}^7 = 0 . 62 \times {10}^8 \]
\[ \therefore v = \sqrt{0 . 62 \times {10}^8}\]
\[ = 0 . 79 \times {10}^4 m/s\]
\[ = 79 km/s\]
