Why is there no atmosphere on the Moon? Explain it in terms of escape velocity.

Escape velocity on a planet is $v_e$. If the radius of the planet remains the same and the mass becomes $4$ times,the escape velocity becomes:

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

The escape velocity of a projectile from the earth is approximately .......... $km/sec$.

An object $A$ of mass '$m$' is located at a point '$P$' at distances '$r$' and '$2r$' from two planets $B$ and $C$ of masses '$M$' and '$6M$' respectively,as shown in the figure. If the escape speed of the object $A$ from point '$P$' due to the gravitational influence of only planet $B$ is $5 \ km/s$,then the escape speed of the object $A$ from point '$P$' due to the gravitational influence of both the planets is . . . . . . $km/s$.
