The escape speed of a projectile on the earth's surface is $11.2 \; km/s$. $A$ body is projected out with thrice this speed. What is the speed (in $km/s$) of the body far away from the earth? Ignore the presence of the sun and other planets.

The radius of a planet is $\frac{1}{4}$ of earth's radius and its acceleration due to gravity is double that of earth's acceleration due to gravity. How many times will the escape velocity at the planet's surface be as compared to its value on earth's surface?

Two spherical planets $P$ and $Q$ have the same uniform density $\rho$,masses $M_P$ and $M_Q$,and surface areas $A$ and $4A$,respectively. $A$ spherical planet $R$ also has uniform density $\rho$ and its mass is $(M_P + M_Q)$. The escape velocities from the planets $P, Q,$ and $R$ are $V_P, V_Q,$ and $V_R$ respectively. Then:

For a satellite,the escape velocity is $11 \ km/s$. If the satellite is launched at an angle of $60^\circ$ with the vertical,then the escape velocity will be ........... $km/s$.

The escape velocity for a body projected vertically upwards from the surface of the Earth is $11 \ km/s$. If the body is projected at an angle of $45^o$ with the vertical,the escape velocity will be ........... $km/s$.
