Explanation:
Total energy while launching the body
"T.E"_i = -"GMm"/"R"_"e" + 1/2\ "mv"^2
Total energy when it just reaches a height of
"T.E"_f = -"GMm"/("R"_"e" + "10R"_"e") = -"GMm"/(11"R"_"e")
"T.E"_i = "T.E"_f
-"GMm"/"R"_"e" + 1/2\ "mv"^2 = -"GMm"/("11R"_"e")
Divide both sides by
-"GM"/"R"_"e" + "v"^2/2= -"GM"/("11R"_"e")
"v"^2/2 = "GM"/"R"_"e"[1 - 1/11]
"v" = sqrt("20GM"/"11R"_"e")
Substitute the values
"v" = sqrt((20 × 6.67 × 10^-11\ "Nm"^2"/kg"^2 × 6 × 10^24\ "kg")/(11 × 6.4 × 10^6\ "m")
"v" ≈ 1.07 × 10^4\ "m/s"
