A space craft of mass 5.9×104 kg is in orbit around a planet of 5.1×1024 kg. If the planet can be assumed to be a uniform sphere of radius 5.4×106 m and the space ship is orbit a height of 6.9×105 m above the surface what is the gravitational potential energy of the ship? [G=6.674×10-11 Nm2kg-2]. u( T J) ?" x0 }, C* T" c

so far what I have done is used the equation for GPE/ p$ B9 t0 G3 N5 o$ j R% P
which is 5 f# x# @! ]# D( n
U = - (G me m) / r7 h: r( N! m! j# c9 U* i

where G is 6.674e-11 Nmkg-2

r is (i think) the radius of the planet (5.4e4 m) added to the height of the space ship is above the planet (6.9e5 m) and then divided it into G me m |
