The value of acceleration due to gravity on the surface of a planet is \(\left ( \dfrac{1}{6} \right )\)th that of the earth. The radius of the planet is \(\left ( \dfrac{1}{3} \right )\)rd of earth's radius. What is the escape speed from the surface of the planet?
(Given the escape from the surface of earth is \(v_{e}\) km/s)
1. \(\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{18}} v_e\) 2. \(\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{2}} v_e\)
3. \(\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{9}} v_e\) 4. \(\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{10}} v_e\)

For a satellite, the escape velocity is \(11.2\) km/s from the surface of the earth. If the satellite is launched at an angle of \(60^\circ\) with the vertical, then the escape velocity will be:
1. \(11.2 ~\cos60^\circ\) km/s 2. \(11.2 ~\sin60^\circ\) km/s
3. \(11.2\) km/s 4. \(11.2 ~\tan60^\circ\) km/s
