Do not assume a constant g for this problem. The gravitational potential energy of a 1 kg object on the earth's surface is -6.28e7 J. How much work is required to lift that object to a height of 5e6 m? GM = 4e14m^3/s^2. Radius of earth = 6.4e6 m.
Initial gravitational potential energy,
U1 = -6.28*10^7 J
Final gravitational potential energy,
U2 = -G*Me*m/(Re + h)
= -6.67*10^-11*5.98*10^24*1/(6.4*10^6 + 5*10^6)
= -3.50*10^7 J
Workd required, W = U2 - U1
= -3.5*10^7 - (-6.28*10^7)
= 2.78*10^7 J <<<<<<<<<<<------------------Answer

Derive an expression for the energy needed to launch an object from the surface of Earth to a height h above the surface. Ignoring Earth's rotation, how much energy is needed to get the same object into orbit at height h? Express your answer in terms of some or all of the variables h, mass of the object m, mass of Earth mE, its radius RE, and gravitational constant G.

Given the formula of the kinetic energy of a particle m with speed v: KE = 1⁄2mv2 , and the formula of the gravitational potential energy: PE = -GMEm/R, where G is gravitational constant and ME and R=6378 km are the mass and the radius of Earth. Now the particle is shot from Earth surface to space. Find the minimum required initial speed for this particle to completely escape the influence of Earth gravity (i.e. PE=0). Notice that the gravitational...
