  • A
    $11$
  • B
    $11\sqrt{3}$
  • C

$A$ body is projected vertically from the Earth's surface with a velocity equal to half the escape velocity. The maximum height reached by the body is ($R =$ radius of the Earth).

$A$ 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).

Is it necessary to provide an initial speed of $11.2 \, km/s$ to a rocket launched from Earth?

Given below are two statements:
Statement $I:$ For a planet,if the ratio of mass of the planet to its radius increases,the escape velocity from the planet also increases.
Statement $II:$ Escape velocity is independent of the radius of the planet.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

Gravitational acceleration on the surface of a planet is $\frac{\sqrt{6}}{11}g$,where $g$ is the gravitational acceleration on the surface of the earth. The average mass density of the planet is $\frac{2}{3}$ times that of the earth. If the escape speed on the surface of the earth is taken to be $11 \ km/s$,the escape speed on the surface of the planet in $km/s$ will be:
