The escape speed of an object on the surface of the earth is $V$. If the object is thrown out with speed $4V$ from the surface of the earth,what will be the speed of the object far away from the earth?

$A$ body of mass $m$ is projected with velocity $\lambda v_{e}$ in a vertically upward direction from the surface of the earth into space. It is given that $v_{e}$ is the escape velocity and $\lambda < 1$. If air resistance is considered to be negligible,then the maximum height from the center of the earth,to which the body can go,will be: ($R$: radius of earth)

$A$ projectile is projected with velocity $k{v_e}$ in the vertically upward direction from the ground into space. (${v_e}$ is the escape velocity and $k < 1$). If air resistance is considered to be negligible,then the maximum height from the center of the Earth to which it can go will be: ($R$ = radius of Earth)
