Does the escape speed of a body from the Earth depend on:
$(a)$ the mass of the body,
$(b)$ the location from where it is projected,
$(c)$ the direction of projection,
$(d)$ the height of the location from where the body is launched?

(D) No.
$(b)$ No.
$(c)$ No.
$(d)$ Yes.
The escape velocity $v_{esc}$ of a body from the Earth is given by the formula:
$v_{esc} = \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R+h}}$
where $G$ is the gravitational constant,$M$ is the mass of the Earth,$R$ is the radius of the Earth,and $h$ is the height of the location from the surface.
$1$. It is clear from the formula that $v_{esc}$ is independent of the mass of the body $(m)$.
$2$. It is independent of the direction of projection as long as it is not directed into the Earth.
$3$. It depends on the location $(R+h)$ from where the body is launched. As the height $h$ increases,the escape velocity decreases.

The escape speed of a projectile on the earth's surface is $11.2 \; km/s$. $A$ body is projected out with thrice this speed. What is the speed (in $km/s$) of the body far away from the earth? Ignore the presence of the sun and other planets.

Two spherical planets $P$ and $Q$ have the same uniform density $\rho$,masses $M_P$ and $M_Q$,and surface areas $A$ and $4A$,respectively. $A$ spherical planet $R$ also has uniform density $\rho$ and its mass is $(M_P + M_Q)$. The escape velocities from the planets $P, Q,$ and $R$ are $V_P, V_Q,$ and $V_R$ respectively. Then:

$A$ particle of mass $m$ is kept at rest at a height $3R$ from the surface of the Earth,where $R$ is the radius of the Earth and $M$ is the mass of the Earth. The minimum speed with which it should be projected upward so that it does not return back is ($g$ = acceleration due to gravity on the Earth's surface).

$A$ body is projected vertically from the surface of the earth of radius $R$ with a velocity equal to half of the escape velocity. The maximum height reached by the body is

The escape velocity of a body from the earth's surface is $v_e$. The escape velocity of the same body from a height equal to $R$ from the earth's surface will be
