CHECK THE SOLUTION.
(a, b, c, d)
If it is projected radially it will go up and then move down in a straight line
If it is projected with a small velocity near the earth's surface, g will be almost constant. So its path
will be almost parabolic (Projectile Motion).
If the body is projected tangentially with orbital speed 
then it will revolve in circular
orbit
If the body is projected with a velocity V Î (V o , V e ) it may revolve in an elliptical orbit.
