Two spherical planets $P$ and $Q$ have the same uniform density $\rho$,masses $M_P$ and $M_Q$,and surface areas $A$ and $4A$,respectively. $A$ spherical planet $R$ also has uniform density $\rho$ and its mass is $(M_P + M_Q)$. The escape velocities from the planets $P, Q,$ and $R$ are $V_P, V_Q,$ and $V_R$ respectively. Then:

The escape velocity of a body from the Earth is $11.2 \,km/s$. If the radius of a planet is one-third the radius of the Earth and its mass is one-sixth that of the Earth, the escape velocity from the planet is: (in $\,km/s$)

If the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of a planet is two times that on the surface of the Earth and its radius is double that of the Earth,then the escape velocity from the surface of that planet in comparison to the Earth will be:

$A$ 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?
