$A$ rocket is launched straight up from the surface of the earth. When its altitude is one-fourth of the radius of the earth,its fuel runs out and it coasts. What is the minimum velocity the rocket must have when it starts to coast if it is to escape from the gravitational pull of the earth? (Escape velocity on the surface of the earth is $11.2 \ km/s$)

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:

For a planet having mass equal to the mass of the Earth but a radius that is one-fourth of the radius of the Earth,the escape velocity for this planet will be (in $km/s$): (in $km/s$)

$A$ body is projected vertically upwards from the surface of the earth with a velocity sufficient to carry it to infinity. The time taken by it to reach a height of three times the radius of the earth is (acceleration due to gravity $g = 9.8 \ m/s^2$ and radius of the earth $R = 6400 \ km$). (in $min$)
