[Steps Shown] The gravitational potential energy of an object at height h above the surface of Earth is -G M (m)/((r+h)), where R is the radius of Earth. What is


Question: The gravitational potential energy of an object at height \(h\) above the surface of Earth is \(-G M \frac{m}{(r+h)}\), where \(R\) is the radius of Earth. What is the difference between the potential at this point and a point on the surface of Earth (which has potential \(-G M \frac{m}{R}\) ) ? Assume \(R\) is much, much bigger than \(h\).
