$A$ particle released at a large distance from a planet reaches the planet only under gravitational attraction and passes through a smooth tunnel through its centre. If $v_e$ is the escape velocity of a body at the planet,then the particle's speed at the centre of the planet is

$A$ body is projected vertically upwards from the surface of the earth with a velocity sufficient to carry it to infinity. The time taken by it to reach a height of three times the radius of the earth is (acceleration due to gravity $g = 9.8 \ m/s^2$ and radius of the earth $R = 6400 \ km$). (in $min$)

$A$ body of mass $m$ is thrown vertically upward with speed $\sqrt{3} v_e$,where $v_e$ is the escape velocity of a body from the Earth's surface. The final velocity of the body is

$A$ body of mass $m$ is projected with velocity $\lambda v_{e}$ in a vertically upward direction from the surface of the earth into space. It is given that $v_{e}$ is the escape velocity and $\lambda < 1$. If air resistance is considered to be negligible,then the maximum height from the center of the earth,to which the body can go,will be: ($R$: radius of earth)
