An object is thrown directly away from the surface of the earth with an initial speed $v$. The object reaches up to a height of $\frac{4}{5} R_E$ from the earth's surface,where $R_E$ is the radius of the earth. If the escape velocity of the object is $v_E$,then the value of $\frac{v}{v_E}$ is:

$A$ body of mass $m$ is projected with velocity $\lambda v_{e}$ in a vertically upward direction from the surface of the earth into space. It is given that $v_{e}$ is the escape velocity and $\lambda < 1$. If air resistance is considered to be negligible,then the maximum height from the center of the earth,to which the body can go,will be: ($R$: radius of earth)
