$v_e$ and $v_p$ denote the escape velocity from the Earth and another planet having twice the radius and the same mean density as the Earth. Then:

  • A
    $v_e = v_p$
  • B
    $v_e = v_p/2$
  • C
    $v_e = 2v_p$
  • D
    $v_e = v_p/4$

Earth has mass $M_1$ and radius $R_1$,and the moon has mass $M_2$ and radius $R_2$. The distance between their centers is $r$. $A$ body of mass $M$ is placed on the line joining them at a distance $r/3$ from the center of the Earth. To project the mass $M$ to escape to infinity,the minimum speed required is:

$A$ particle of mass $m$ is projected with a velocity $v = k V_{e}$ $(k < 1)$ from the surface of the earth. $(V_{e} = \text{escape velocity})$. The maximum height above the surface reached by the particle is:
