Yeah, just modify my working by replacing my values with your own.GG-Legit said:Thanx for the solution mate:
but ,
i think you misread the question:
For Part 2:its suppose to be
Finding GmM from the work done to move an object from "centre of the planet" m to 20,000,000 m given the work required is 1.0 MJ
For Part 3 :its suppose to be
Using GmM to calculate work done to move object from "Centre of the planet"m to 80,000,000 m
and btw: MG = 10^6 J
You should check it ..

It happens to me quite often.
Forbidden. said:Skip straight to Part 2 if you don't need to see how the change in gravitational potential energy was derived.
All units are SI units i.e. distance is all in metres and energy is in joules.
Part 1 - The derivation for the gravitational potential energy.
F - final
I - initial
ΔEP = - GmM/rF - (- GmM/rI)
ΔEP = - GmM/rF + GmM/rI
ΔEP = GmM/rI + GmM/rF (Switch signs)
ΔEP = GmM (1/rI - 1/rF) (Factorisation)
Yeah xiao I knew that, perhaps I should of said 'it was due to a mistake'.xiao1985 said:3rd last step -> 2nd last step was the mistake.... last step was correct.
