Hmm. you have a point.That is wrong because that formula assumes g is a constant value. However as an object moves further away from Earth the value of g changes. Many textbooks are horrible at explaining this concept.
Hmm. you have a point.
But I was taught in class to do this... so yeah... I'll argue
Edit: Actually, it shouldn't matter. Because they are asking for the initial work require to propel the object to such height. So I don't think the constancy of 'g' matters too much. Textbooks and teachers taught to just consider 'g' as a constant value. If you discuss it like that, then projectile motions wouldn't work.
Ummm... yeah I know that. What's your point ? lolSyllabus:
"-Define gravitational potential energy as the work done to move an object from a very large distance away to a point within the gravitational field."
Ep= -G(m1m2)/r
Projectile motion is assumed to have a constant g as defined by its parabolic trajectory of constant downward acceleration and constant horizontal velocity.Hmm. you have a point.

I got something pretty similar to that if I remember correctlyqwerty did you get like 4.77x10^10?
Yes. There is a reason why they give you the value for 'g' in the chart.g is certainly not constant lol
but we approximate 9.8m/s^2 for points near the earth's surface
Isn't there an entire dot point that asks for reasons that account for the variation in g?
And just adding on to what qwerty said, integrate between limits from infinity to a distance r
Yes. There was one where u had to draw Simultaneity and explain it.were there any questions on relativity?
How would you draw simultaneity ? :SYes. There was one where u had to draw Simultaneity and explain it.
yeah i did the train one with lightning strikes lolHow would you draw simultaneity ? :S
Do you just draw the train and two different observers?
Also were there any experiments this year?
i forgot they changed some of the questions in ours haha but yeah it wasn't in the standard only in mine because we haven't finished ideas to implementation yet :\.Did we have to talk about thompsons experiment? It had no helmholtz coil or it wasn't asking to measure the charge:mass ratio (his experiment) I didn't explain that v=e/b or any of that.
I mentioned thermionic Emmision
