$A$ 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).

Two planets $P_1$ and $P_2$ with equal mass have radii $R_1$ and $R_2$, respectively, where $R_2 = \frac{R_1}{2}$. The escape speeds of $P_1$ and $P_2$ are $v_1$ and $v_2$, respectively. Then $\frac{v_2}{v_1}$ is :
