The mass of a spaceship is 1000 kg. It is to be launched from the earth's surface out into free space. The value of 'g' and 'R' (radius of earth) are 10 m//s^(2) and 6400 km respectively. The required energy for this work will be :

Answer»

`6.4xx10^(10)` joules
`6.4xx10^(11)` joules
`6.4xx10^(8)` joules
`6.4xx10^(9)` joules

SOLUTION :`w=0-(-(GM_(m))/(R ))=(GM_(m))/(R )`
`=GR^(2)xx(m)/(R )=MGR`
`=1000xx10xx6.4xx10^(6)`
`=6.4xx10^(10)J`
So, correct choice is (a).
