Question

A missile is launched from surface of earth with a
speed less than the escape speed. The sum of kinetic
and gravitational potential energy of missile is
Negative
Positive
O Zero
Either positive or zero​

Answer 1

Answer:

the correct answer is negative .

explanation-

The sum of kinetic energy and potential energy is negative. This is because for the velocity less than escape velocity the missile is bounded due to gravitational field of the earth. Hence its total energy is negative.
