Answer:
Acceleration due to gravity is reduced to half its value on the earth's surface at an altitude of 2.65×106 m
This is a question similar to one wrestled with by Newton himself, who didn't understand why the planets didn't fall into each other. The reason satellites don't fly into space is because they are being pulled towards the planet by the planet's gravity.

Answer: 3 times as much the potential energy
Explanation:
Potential energy is the energy possessed by an object by virtue of its position.

m= mass of object
g = acceleration due to gravity
h = height of an object
When same object with same is lifted from 10 feet to 30 feet. The height has increased 3 times , thus the potential energy will also get 3 times as much.
