$A$ 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).

$A$ body is projected up with a velocity equal to $\frac{3}{4}$ of the escape velocity from the surface of the earth. The height it reaches is (Radius of the earth $= R$)
