Homework Statement
An object is moved from A to B in the gravitational field of earth. The distance between the center of Earth and B is twice that of A. If the gravitational potential energy of the object at A is -2MJ, what is the gravitational potential energy of the object at B?
Homework Equations
Eg = -G*M*m / r
The Attempt at a Solution
Im stumped for where I should start. I need to find the mass or radius of orbit of this object but I can't figure out how to do that with just the gravitational potential energy given. Please help with a hint on where to start. I don't want the question answered. Thanks
