What is the minimum energy required to launch a satellite of mass $$m$$ from the surface of a planet of mass $$M$$ and radius $$R$$ in a circular orbit at an altitude of $$2R$$?

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:

Two bodies of masses $$m$$ and $$4$$ $$m$$ are placed at a distance $$r.$$ The gravitational potential at a point on the line joining them where the gravitational field is zero is:

The height at which the acceleration due to gravity becomes $${g \over 9}$$ (where $$g=$$ the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the earth) in terms of $$R,$$ the radius of the earth, is:
