A rocket is launched normal to the surface of the Earth away from the Sun along the line joining the Sun and the Earth. The Sun is 3×105 times heavier than the Earth and is at a distance 2.5×104 times larger than the radius of the Earth. The escape velocity from Earth's gravitational field is ve=11.2 km s1. The minimum initial velocity (vs) required for the rocket to be able to leave the Sun-Earth system is closest to : (Ignore the rotation and revolution of the Earth and the presence of any other planet)

A planet of mass M has two natural satellites with masses m1 and m2. The radii of their circular orbits are R1 and R2, respectively. Ignore the gravitational force between the satellites. Define v1, L1, K1 and T1 to be respectively, the orbital speed, angular momentum, kinetic energy and time period of revolution of satellite 1 and v2, L2, K2 and T2 to be the corresponding quantities of satellite 2. Given m1/m2 = 2 and R1/R2 = 1/4, match the ratios in List-I to the numbers in List-II.
