The ratio of the radii of two planets is $r$ and the ratio of accelerations due to gravity on the planets is $x$. Then the ratio of the escape velocities from the planets is

$A$ mass of $6 \times 10^{24} \,kg$ is to be compressed in the form of a solid sphere such that the escape velocity from its surface is $3 \times 10^4 \,ms^{-1}$. The radius of the sphere is (Universal gravitational constant $G = 6.66 \times 10^{-11} \,N \,m^2 \,kg^{-2}$) (in $\,km$)

An object is thrown directly away from the surface of the earth with an initial speed $v$. The object reaches up to a height of $\frac{4}{5} R_E$ from the earth's surface,where $R_E$ is the radius of the earth. If the escape velocity of the object is $v_E$,then the value of $\frac{v}{v_E}$ is:

The escape velocity for a planet is $v_e$. $A$ tunnel is dug along a diameter of the planet and a small body is dropped into it at the surface. When the body reaches the centre of the planet,its speed will be
