hi!
in my book they are trying to derive a formula for how much energy is needed to move an object height h from the Earth's surface. so large that:
dent's total work (W) spent a
to move a body with mass m from the Earth to a point at distance R from the center of the earth:
W=c\cdot m\cdot M\cdot (\frac{1}{R_0}-\frac{1}{R})
c = 6.66 * 10 ^ -11, R_0 = 6370
when R increases approaching the term 1 / R all zero, and work to keep a body from the Earth's surface infinitely far into the universe can be calculated by the formula
W=c\cdot \frac{m\cdot M}{R_0}
what I can not really understand is that work is defined as force*distance, W=F*s.
why is \frac{1}{R_0}-\frac{1}{R}=distance and why is c\cdot m\cdot M=force??
can someone explain to me, thanks
2) why is c\cdot m\cdot M the same at m\cdot g\cdot R^2_0, also
c\cdot m\cdot M=m\cdot g\cdot R^2_0
