Explain escape energy and provide its definition. Also, explain escape speed.

If the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of a planet is two times that on the surface of the Earth and its radius is double that of the Earth,then the escape velocity from the surface of that planet in comparison to the Earth will be:

$A$ particle of mass $m$ is kept at rest at a height $3R$ from the surface of the Earth,where $R$ is the radius of the Earth and $M$ is the mass of the Earth. The minimum speed with which it should be projected upward so that it does not return back is ($g$ = acceleration due to gravity on the Earth's surface).

$A$ spaceship moves from the Earth to the Moon and back. The greatest energy required for the spaceship is to overcome the difficulty in:

$A$ body is projected vertically upwards from the Earth's surface. If the velocity of projection is $\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)$ of the escape velocity,then the height up to which the body rises is $(R = \text{radius of Earth})$
