A space ship of mass 2 × 10 4 kg is launched into a circular orbit close to the earth surface. The additional velocity to be imparted to the space ship in the orbit to overcome the gravitational pull will be (if g = 10 m/s 2 and radius of earth = 6400 km) :

1. ) 1 2 ( 2 . 11  km/s
2. ) 1 2 ( 8  km/s
3. ) 1 2 ( 9 . 7  km/s
4. ) 1 2 ( 4 . 7  km/s

Correct answer: ) 1 2 ( 8  km/s
