(1a). The gravitational field strength

g on the earth’s surface is
9.8N/kg. explain what this
means.(b) Using the law of gravity,
show that gr2= k. Where g=gravitational field strength at a
distance r from the center of the
earth (r>Re), where Re is the radius of the earth.
(2). Determine the velocity which a body released at a
distance r from the center of the
earth when it strikes the earth surface.
(3). A 500kg spaceship is in a circular orbit of radius 2Re about
the earth. (a)How much energy is required to transfer the spaceship to a
circular orbit of radius 4Re. (b)Discuss the change in potential
energy, kinetic energy and the
total energy of the system
