Vedclass · Answer

(B) According to the law of conservation of energy,the total mechanical energy at the initial height must equal the total mechanical energy at the surface of the earth.Initial energy at height $h = R$ (distance from center $r = 2R$): $E_i = -\frac{GMm}{2R} + 0$Final energy at the surface (distance from center $r = R$): $E_f = -\frac{GMm}{R} + \frac{1}{2}mv^2$Equating $E_i = E_f$:$-\frac{GMm}{2R} = -\frac{GMm}{R} + \frac{1}{2}mv^2$$\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = \frac{GMm}{R} - \frac{GMm}{2R} = \frac{GMm}{2R}$$v^2 = \frac{GM}{R}$Since $g = \frac{GM}{R^2}$,we have $GM = gR^2$.Substituting $GM$ in the equation for $v^2$:$v^2 = \frac{gR^2}{R} = gR$$v = \sqrt{gR}$
