The mass of a spaceship is $1000 \ kg$. It is to be launched from the earth's surface out into free space. The value of $g$ and $R$ (radius of earth) are $10 \ m/s^2$ and $6400 \ km$ respectively. The required energy for this work will be

$A$ bullet is fired vertically upwards with velocity $v$ from the surface of a spherical planet. When it reaches its maximum height,its acceleration due to the planet's gravity is $1/4$ of its value at the surface of the planet. If the escape velocity from the planet is $v_{esc} = v \sqrt{N}$,then the value of $N$ is (ignore energy loss due to atmosphere).
