The radius of a planet is $\frac{1}{4}$ of earth's radius and its acceleration due to gravity is double that of earth's acceleration due to gravity. How many times will the escape velocity at the planet's surface be as compared to its value on earth's surface?

If the radius and acceleration due to gravity both are doubled,the escape velocity of the Earth will become ......... $km/s$.

$A$ body of mass $m$ is dropped from a height $h = \frac{R}{2}$ above the surface of the Earth,where $R$ is the radius of the Earth. Find its speed when it hits the Earth's surface. (Given: $v_e$ is the escape velocity from the Earth's surface).

Two planets $P_1$ and $P_2$ with equal mass have radii $R_1$ and $R_2$, respectively, where $R_2 = \frac{R_1}{2}$. The escape speeds of $P_1$ and $P_2$ are $v_1$ and $v_2$, respectively. Then $\frac{v_2}{v_1}$ is :
