$A$ geostationary satellite is revolving around the $Earth$. To make it escape from the gravitational field of the $Earth$,its velocity must be increased by ........ $\%$

On which two factors does the escape velocity of an object projected from the Earth $NOT$ depend?

There is no atmosphere on the moon because

Two spherical stars $A$ and $B$ have densities $\rho_A$ and $\rho_B$,respectively. $A$ and $B$ have the same radius,and their masses $M_A$ and $M_B$ are related by $M_B = 2M_A$. Due to an interaction process,star $A$ loses some of its mass,so that its radius is halved,while its spherical shape is retained,and its density remains $\rho_A$. The entire mass lost by $A$ is deposited as a thick spherical shell on $B$ with the density of the shell being $\rho_A$. If $v_A$ and $v_B$ are the escape velocities from $A$ and $B$ after the interaction process,the ratio $\frac{v_B}{v_A} = \sqrt{\frac{10n}{15^{1/3}}}$. The value of $n$ is. . . . .

The mass of a planet is half that of the Earth and the radius of the planet is one-fourth that of the Earth. If we plan to send an artificial satellite from the planet,the escape velocity will be (escape velocity on Earth $v_e = 11 \ km \ s^{-1}$): (in $km \ s^{-1}$)
