The escape velocity of a sphere of mass $m$ is given by ($G =$ Universal gravitational constant; $M_e =$ Mass of the earth and $R_e =$ Radius of the earth).

$A$ particle of mass $m$ is thrown upwards from the surface of the earth with a velocity $u$. The mass and the radius of the earth are $M$ and $R$, respectively. $G$ is the gravitational constant and $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the earth. The minimum value of $u$ so that the particle does not return back to earth is:

The escape velocity from the moon's surface is less than that on the earth's surface,because:

$A$ spherical uniform planet is rotating about its axis. The velocity of a point on its equator is $V$. Due to the rotation of the planet about its axis,the acceleration due to gravity $g$ at the equator is $1/2$ of $g$ at the poles. Find the escape velocity of a particle on the planet in terms of $V$.
