If the radius of a planet is $R$ and density is $\rho$,then the escape velocity $v_{e}$ of any body from its surface will be proportional to:

  • A
    $R$
  • B
    $\frac{\sqrt{\rho}}{R}$
  • C
    $R \sqrt{\rho}$
  • D
    $\frac{R}{\sqrt{\rho}}$

$A$ satellite is orbiting close to the Earth and has a kinetic energy $K$. The minimum extra kinetic energy required by it to just overcome the gravitational pull of the Earth is

$A$ body is projected from the earth's surface with thrice the escape velocity. What will be its velocity when it escapes the gravitational pull?

The radius of the planet is double that of the earth,but their average densities are same. $V_{p}$ and $V_E$ are the escape velocities of planet and earth respectively. If $\frac{V_p}{V_E}=x$,the value of '$x$' is
