Qsn no 45.
Dear student,
Initially, Ei = - GMe m/4Re
Finally,
Ef = - GMe m/8Re
ΔE = Ef – Ei = gmRe/8
= 3.13 109 J
The kinetic energy is reduced and it mimics ΔE, namely, ΔK = Kf – Ki = – 3.13 × 109 J.
The change in potential energy is twice the change in the total energy, namely ΔV = Vf – Vi = – 6.25 × 109J
Regards
