The value of escape velocity on a certain planet is $2 \, km/s$. Then the value of orbital speed for a satellite orbiting close to its surface is

$A$ body is projected vertically upwards from the surface of the Earth with a velocity equal to one-third of the escape velocity. The maximum height attained by the body will be $...... \ km$. (Take radius of Earth $R = 6400 \ km$ and $g = 10 \ m/s^2$)

$A$ rocket is launched straight up from the surface of the earth. When its altitude is $\frac{1}{3}$ of the radius of the earth,its fuel runs out and therefore it coasts. If the rocket has to escape from the gravitational pull of the earth,the minimum velocity with which it should coast is (Escape velocity on the surface of the earth is $11.2 \ km/s$.) (in $km/s$)

If the radius of a planet is four times that of Earth and the value of $g$ is the same for both,the escape velocity on the planet will be ......... $km/s$.
