To solve the problem, we need to calculate the height to which a body will rise when projected upwards from the surface of the Earth with a kinetic energy that is one-third of the energy required to escape the Earth's gravitational field. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Escape Energy**: The energy required to escape the gravitational field of the Earth is given by the formula: \[ E_{\text{escape}} = \frac{GMm}{R} ...
