(B) Using the conservation of mechanical energy between the Earth's surface $(r = R_e)$ and the maximum height $(r = r_{max})$:$U_i + K_i = U_f + K_f$$-\frac{G M m}{R_e} + \frac{1}{2} m v^2 = -\frac{G M m}{r_{max}} + 0$Given $v^2 = \frac{4 g R_e}{3}$ and $g = \frac{G M}{R_e^2}$,so $v^2 = \frac{4 G M}{3 R_e}$.$-\frac{G M m}{R_e} + \frac{1}{2} m (\frac{4 G M}{3 R_e}) = -\frac{G M m}{r_{max}}$$-\frac{G M m}{R_e} + \frac{2 G M m}{3 R_e} = -\frac{G M m}{r_{max}}$$-\frac{1}{3} \frac{G M m}{R_e} = -\frac{G M m}{r_{max}} \Rightarrow r_{max} = 3 R_e$.The maximum height $h_{max} = r_{max} - R_e = 2 R_e$.We need the velocity $v'$ at height $h = \frac{h_{max}}{2} = R_e$,which corresponds to $r = 2 R_e$.Applying conservation of energy again:$-\frac{G M m}{R_e} + \frac{1}{2} m v^2 = -\frac{G M m}{2 R_e} + \frac{1}{2} m (v')^2$$-\frac{G M m}{R_e} + \frac{2 G M m}{3 R_e} = -\frac{G M m}{2 R_e} + \frac{1}{2} m (v')^2$$-\frac{1}{3} \frac{G M m}{R_e} + \frac{1}{2} \frac{G M m}{R_e} = \frac{1}{2} m (v')^2$$\frac{1}{6} \frac{G M m}{R_e} = \frac{1}{2} m (v')^2$$(v')^2 = \frac{G M}{3 R_e} = \frac{g R_e}{3} \Rightarrow v' = \sqrt{\frac{g R_e}{3}}$.

$A$ particle is projected vertically up with velocity $v = \sqrt{\frac{4 g R_e}{3}}$ from the Earth's surface. The velocity of the particle at a height equal to half of the maximum height reached by it is .........

The mass and radius of the earth and moon are $M, R$ and $m, r$ respectively. The distance between their centers is $d$. The minimum velocity with which a particle of mass $m_0$ should be projected from the midpoint between them so that it could reach infinity is

For the moon to cease to remain the earth's satellite,its orbital velocity has to increase by a factor of

$v_e$ and $v_p$ denote the escape velocity from the Earth and another planet having twice the radius and the same mean density as the Earth. Then:

There is no atmosphere on the moon because

The radius and mean density of a planet are four times that of the Earth. The ratio of the escape velocity on the Earth to the escape velocity on the planet is:
