Vedclass · Answer

(A) According to the law of conservation of energy:$(K.E + P.E)_{	ext{surface}} = (K.E + P.E)_{	ext{max height}}$Since the velocity at maximum height is $0$,we have:$-\frac{GMm}{R} + \frac{1}{2} m(n V_e)^2 = -\frac{GMm}{R + h} + 0$We know that the escape velocity $V_e = \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}}$,so $V_e^2 = \frac{2GM}{R}$.Substituting this into the equation:$\frac{1}{2} m n^2 \left( \frac{2GM}{R} ight) = GMm \left( \frac{1}{R} - \frac{1}{R + h} ight)$$\frac{n^2 GMm}{R} = GMm \left( \frac{R + h - R}{R(R + h)} ight)$$\frac{n^2}{R} = \frac{h}{R(R + h)}$$n^2 = \frac{h}{R + h}$$n^2(R + h) = h$$n^2 R + n^2 h = h$$n^2 R = h(1 - n^2)$$h = \frac{n^2 R}{1 - n^2}$
