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 . . . . . . $km/s$.

The escape velocity for the earth is $v_e$. The escape velocity for a planet whose radius is four times and density is nine times that of the earth,is (in $,v_e$)

The escape velocity for the Earth is $11 \ km/s$. The escape velocity for a planet having twice the radius and the same density as the Earth is .......... $km/s$.

The escape velocity of an object from the Earth depends upon the mass of the Earth $(M)$,its mean density $(\rho)$,its radius $(R)$,and the gravitational constant $(G)$. Thus,the formula for escape velocity is:

The escape velocity of a body on the surface of the earth is $11.2 \, km/s$. If the earth's mass increases to twice its present value and the radius of the earth becomes half,the escape velocity would become ......... $km/s$.
