The ratio of the orbital velocity of a body near the surface of a planet to the escape velocity of a body from the surface of the same planet is:

The radius of the planet is double that of the earth,but their average densities are same. $V_{p}$ and $V_E$ are the escape velocities of planet and earth respectively. If $\frac{V_p}{V_E}=x$,the value of '$x$' is

If the radius of a planet is $R$ and density is $\rho$,then the escape velocity $v_{e}$ of any body from its surface will be proportional to:

The ratio of the escape velocity of a planet to the escape velocity of the Earth will be: Given: Mass of the planet is $16$ times the mass of the Earth and the radius of the planet is $4$ times the radius of the Earth.
