A bullet is fired vertically upwards with velocity v from the surface of a spherical planet. When it reaches its maximum height, its acceleration due to the planet's gravity is (¼)th of its value of the surface of the planet. If the escape velocity from the planet is Vesc = v VN, then the value of N is (ignore energy loss due to atmosphere).

Question
A bullet is fired vertically upwards with velocity v
from the surface of a spherical planet. When it
reaches its maximum height, its acceleration due
to the planet's gravity is (4)th of its value of the
surface of the planet. If the escape velocity from
the planet is Vesc = v VN, then the value of N is
(ignore energy loss due to atmosphere).
