The mass of earth is 9 times of that of Mars. The radius of the earth is twice that of Mars. The escape velocity on the earth is 12 "kms"^(-1) , then the escape velocity on the Mars is

If the acceleration due to gravity g doubles and the radius of earth becomes half that of the present value, then the value of escape velocity is (Assume, g = 10 m//s^2 and radius of earth, R = 6400 km)

An object is thrown vertically upwards from the surface of the earth with a velocity x times the escape velocity on the earth (x lt 1) , then the maximum height ot which its rises from the centre of the earth is (radius of earth is R)
