For an object projected from the Earth,on which two factors does the escape velocity $NOT$ depend?

The mass of a planet is half that of the Earth and the radius of the planet is one-fourth that of the Earth. If we plan to send an artificial satellite from the planet,the escape velocity will be (escape velocity on Earth $v_e = 11 \ km \ s^{-1}$): (in $km \ s^{-1}$)

The ratio of the kinetic energy required to be given to a satellite to escape from the Earth's surface to the kinetic energy required to be given to the same satellite to revolve around the Earth in an orbit just above the Earth's surface is ...........

The ratio of the radii of planets $A$ and $B$ is ${k_1}$ and the ratio of acceleration due to gravity on them is ${k_2}$. The ratio of escape velocities from them will be

$A$ particle of mass $m$ is kept at rest at a height $3R$ from the surface of the Earth,where $R$ is the radius of the Earth and $M$ is the mass of the Earth. The minimum speed with which it should be projected upward so that it does not return back is ($g$ = acceleration due to gravity on the Earth's surface).
