The radius of the planet is double that of the earth,but their average densities are same. $V_{p}$ and $V_E$ are the escape velocities of planet and earth respectively. If $\frac{V_p}{V_E}=x$,the value of '$x$' is

  • A
    $1/4$
  • B
    $1/2$
  • C
    $2$
  • D

$A$ body is projected vertically upwards from the Earth's surface. If the velocity of projection is $\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)$ of the escape velocity,then the height up to which the body rises is $(R = \text{radius of Earth})$

Gravitational acceleration on the surface of a planet is $\frac{\sqrt{6}}{11}g$,where $g$ is the gravitational acceleration on the surface of the earth. The average mass density of the planet is $\frac{2}{3}$ times that of the earth. If the escape speed on the surface of the earth is taken to be $11 \ km/s$,the escape speed on the surface of the planet in $km/s$ will be:
