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?

so far what I have done is used the equation for GPE

r is (i think) the radius of the planet (5.4e4 m) added to the height of the space ship is above the planet (6.9e5 m) and then divided it into G me m |
