The escape velocity of a body from the surface of the earth is $11.2 \,km/s$. The escape velocity of a body from a planet having the same mean density as the earth but twice the radius of earth is: (in $\,km/s$)

$A$ planet in a distant solar system is $10$ times more massive than the earth and its radius is $10$ times smaller. Given that the escape velocity from the earth is $11 \ km/s$,the escape velocity from the surface of the planet would be ........ $km/s$.

The radius of a planet is twice the radius of the Earth. Both have almost equal average mass densities. If $V_P$ and $V_E$ are the escape velocities of the planet and the Earth respectively,then:

The ratio of the acceleration due to gravity on two planets $P_1$ and $P_2$ is $K_1$. The ratio of their respective radii is $K_2$. The ratio of their respective escape velocities is

An object is kept at rest at a distance of $3R$ above the earth's surface,where $R$ is the earth's radius. The minimum speed with which it must be projected so that it does not return to earth is (Assume $M =$ mass of earth,$G =$ Universal gravitational constant).
