$A$ body is projected vertically upwards from the surface of a planet of radius $R$ with a velocity equal to half the escape velocity of that planet. Then,the maximum height attained by the body is

An object is thrown directly away from the surface of the earth with an initial speed $v$. The object reaches up to a height of $\frac{4}{5} R_E$ from the earth's surface,where $R_E$ is the radius of the earth. If the escape velocity of the object is $v_E$,then the value of $\frac{v}{v_E}$ is:

Explain escape speed. On what factors does escape velocity not depend?
