Explain escape velocity . Write the value of escape velocity of earth ?

A planet has the radius twice that of earth and has same density as that of earth. If V_(p)andV_(e) are the escape velocities for the planet and earth, then which of the following correct relation is:

The escape velocity of a body from Earth's surface is v_(e ) . What will be the escape velocity of the same body from a height equal to 7R from Earth's surface.

An artificial satellite is moving in a circular or bit around the earth with a speed equal to half the magnitude of escape velocity from the earth (ii) If the satellite is stopped suddenly in its orbit or allowed to fall freely on the earth, find the speed with which it hits the surface of the earth take g = 9.8 ms^(-2) , radius of the earth = 6400 km.

An artificial satellite is moving in a circular or bit around the earth with a speed equal to half the magnitude of escape velocity from the earth (i) determine the height of the satellite above the earth's surface.

A pendulum of time period 2 s'on earth is taken to another planet whose mass and diameter are twice that of earth.Then, its time period of the planet is (in second):
