$A$ rocket is launched straight up from the surface of the earth. When its altitude is $\frac{1}{3}$ of the radius of the earth,its fuel runs out and therefore it coasts. If the rocket has to escape from the gravitational pull of the earth,the minimum velocity with which it should coast is (Escape velocity on the surface of the earth is $11.2 \ km/s$.) (in $km/s$)

$A$ body is projected vertically upward from the surface of the earth of radius $R$ into space with velocity $n V_e$ (where $n < 1$ and $V_e$ is the escape velocity). The maximum height from the surface of the earth to which the body can reach is
