Explanation:

Response
Question 37

Step1: Recall escape velocity formula

The formula for escape velocity \( v_e \) is derived from equating gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy. The formula is \( v_e = \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}} \), where \( G \) is the gravitational constant, \( M \) is the mass of the celestial body, and \( R \) is its radius.

Step2: Match with options

Looking at the options, option C is \( \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}} \), which matches the escape velocity formula.

Brief Explanations

When a glass rod is rubbed with silk, glass has a tendency to lose electrons (since it is less electronegative than silk). So electrons from the glass are transferred to the silk. Protons are bound in the nucleus and do not transfer during charging by friction.

Step1: Recall Coulomb's Law

Coulomb's Law is \( F = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0} \frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2} \), where \( \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}=9.0\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2C^{-2} \), \( q_1 = 1.0\ \mu C=1.0\times 10^{-6}\ C \), \( q_2 = 1.5\ \mu C = 1.5\times 10^{-6}\ C \), and \( r = 5.0\ cm=0.05\ m \).

Step2: Substitute values into the formula

\[

$$\begin{align*} F&=9.0\times 10^{9}\times\frac{(1.0\times 10^{-6})\times(1.5\times 10^{-6})}{(0.05)^2}\\ &=9.0\times 10^{9}\times\frac{1.5\times 10^{-12}}{0.0025}\\ &=9.0\times 10^{9}\times6\times 10^{-10}\\ &= 5.4\ N \end{align*}$$

\]

Answer:

C. \( \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}} \)
