$A$ body is projected from the earth's surface with a speed $\sqrt{5}$ times the escape speed $(V_{e})$. The speed of the body when it escapes from the gravitational influence of the earth is

Two spherical stars $A$ and $B$ have densities $\rho_A$ and $\rho_B$,respectively. $A$ and $B$ have the same radius,and their masses $M_A$ and $M_B$ are related by $M_B = 2M_A$. Due to an interaction process,star $A$ loses some of its mass,so that its radius is halved,while its spherical shape is retained,and its density remains $\rho_A$. The entire mass lost by $A$ is deposited as a thick spherical shell on $B$ with the density of the shell being $\rho_A$. If $v_A$ and $v_B$ are the escape velocities from $A$ and $B$ after the interaction process,the ratio $\frac{v_B}{v_A} = \sqrt{\frac{10n}{15^{1/3}}}$. The value of $n$ is. . . . .

$A$ particle released at a large distance from a planet reaches the planet only under gravitational attraction and passes through a smooth tunnel through its centre. If $v_e$ is the escape velocity of a body at the planet,then the particle's speed at the centre of the planet is

$A$ body of mass $m$ is projected with velocity $\lambda v_{e}$ in a vertically upward direction from the surface of the earth into space. It is given that $v_{e}$ is the escape velocity and $\lambda < 1$. If air resistance is considered to be negligible,then the maximum height from the center of the earth,to which the body can go,will be: ($R$: radius of earth)

If ${v_e}$ and ${v_o}$ represent the escape velocity and orbital velocity of a satellite corresponding to a circular orbit of radius $R$,then
