Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A spacecraft is to be launched from the surface of the Earth. Using the concept of gravitational potential, explain how the gravitational potential changes as it rises and how this relates to the work required to escape the Earth’s gravity.

💡 Hint: Consider the idea of moving from a potential well.

Question 2

Calculate the relative work done in moving a mass from a height of 10 meters to a height of 20 meters in a gravitational field with an acceleration of 9.81 m/s^2. Discuss how potential changes.

💡 Hint: Use the formula for gravitational potential energy and remember that potential energy relates directly to height.
