A space craft of mass 5.9×104 kg is in orbit around a planet of 5.1×1024 kg. If the planet can be assumed to be a uniform sphere of radius 5.4×106 m and the space ship is orbit a height of 6.9×105 m above the surface what is the gravitational potential energy of the ship? [G=6.674×10-11 Nm2kg-2]

so far what I have done is used the equation for GPE5 [" o5 e2 A/ n5 R; f( v
which is ( U8 X6 ]$ y! m
U = - (G me m) / r9 T3 f; j1 o I! V+ L
