Let the escape velocity of a body kept at the surface of a planet be $u$. If it is projected at a speed of $200 \%$ more than the escape speed,then its speed in interstellar space will be ...........

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:

$A$ spaceship moves from the Earth to the Moon and back. The greatest energy required for the spaceship is to overcome the difficulty in:

$A$ projectile is projected with velocity $k{v_e}$ in the vertically upward direction from the ground into space. (${v_e}$ is the escape velocity and $k < 1$). If air resistance is considered to be negligible,then the maximum height from the center of the Earth to which it can go will be: ($R$ = radius of Earth)

The Earth is assumed to be a sphere of radius $R$. $A$ platform is arranged at a height $R$ from the surface of the Earth. The escape velocity of a body from this platform is $fv$,where $v$ is its escape velocity from the surface of the Earth. The value of $f$ is
