<h2>Answer: B. Gravitational potential energy </h2>
Explanation:
<em>The gravitational potential energy is the energy that a body or object possesses, due to its position in a gravitational field. </em>
That is why this energy depends on the relative height of an object with respect to some point of reference and associated with the gravitational force.
In the case of the <u>Earth</u>, in which <u>the gravitational field is considered constant</u>, the value of the gravitational potential energy will be:
Where is the mass of the object,
the acceleration due gravity and
the height of the object.
As we can see, the value of is directly proportional to the height.
Answer:
Distance = 345719139.4[m]; acceleration = 3.33*10^{19} [m/s^2]
Explanation:
We can solve this problem by using Newton's universal gravitation law.
In the attached image we can find a schematic of the locations of the Earth and the moon and that the sum of the distances re plus rm will be equal to the distance given as initial data in the problem rt = 3.84 × 108 m
Now the key to solving this problem is to establish a point of equalisation of both forces, i.e. the point where the Earth pulls the astronaut with the same force as the moon pulls the astronaut.
Mathematically this equals:
When we match these equations the masses cancel out as the universal gravitational constant
To solve this equation we have to replace the first equation of related with the distances.
Now, we have a second-degree equation, the only way to solve it is by using the formula of the quadratic equation.
We work with positive value
rm = 38280860.6[m] = 38280.86[km]
<u>Second part</u>

The distance between the Earth and this point is calculated as follows:
re = 3.84 108 - 38280860.6 = 345719139.4[m]
Now the acceleration can be found as follows:
