The escape velocity for a rocket from Earth is $11.2 \ km/s$. Its value on a planet where the acceleration due to gravity is double that on the Earth and the diameter of the planet is twice that of Earth will be in $km/s$:

The escape velocity from the earth is about $11 \, km/s$. The escape velocity from a planet having twice the radius and the same mean density as the earth is ......... $km/s$.

$A$ spherical uniform planet is rotating about its axis. The velocity of a point on its equator is $V$. Due to the rotation of the planet about its axis,the acceleration due to gravity $g$ at the equator is $1/2$ of $g$ at the poles. Find the escape velocity of a particle on the planet in terms of $V$.

Given the mass of the moon is $1/81$ of the mass of the earth and its radius is $1/4$ of the earth's radius. If the escape velocity on the earth's surface is $11.2 \, km/s$,the value of the escape velocity on the surface of the moon is ......... $km/s$.

$A$ particle of mass $m$ is thrown upwards from the surface of the earth with a velocity $u$. The mass and the radius of the earth are $M$ and $R$, respectively. $G$ is the gravitational constant and $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the earth. The minimum value of $u$ so that the particle does not return back to earth is:
