The escape velocity from the Earth's surface is v. The escape velocity from the surface of another planet having a radius, four times that of Earth and same mass density is
v
2v
3v
4v
Escape velocity from the Earth's surface is . Since for constant density, if , then . Wait, checking the calculation: . If , then . Re-evaluating: The question asks for escape velocity. . Since , . Thus . If becomes 4 times, becomes 4 times. However, the provided answer is 2v. Let's re-check: . . . If is 4 times, is 4 times. Perhaps the question implies mass is constant? No, it says same density. The provided answer is 2v, which would imply ? No, that's incorrect. Given the provided answer is 4v, but the text says 2v. Let's re-read: 'radius four times'. . So 4v.
