$A$ body is thrown with a velocity equal to $n$ times the escape velocity $(v_e)$. What will be the velocity of the body at a large distance away?

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 $,v_e$)

Earth has mass $8$ times and radius $2$ times that of a planet. If the escape velocity from the Earth is $11.2 \ km/s$,the escape velocity in $km/s$ from the planet will be:

$A$ body is projected vertically upwards from the Earth's surface with a velocity $2 v_{e}$,where $v_{e}$ is the escape velocity from the Earth's surface. The velocity of the body when it escapes the gravitational pull is
