Discussion. — Plotting the potential energy as abscissa and theheight above the surface of the earth as ordinate we obtain the curve ofFig. 103, where the circle represents the earth. When r = a, U = 0; as it should. When r = oo , U = mga. Thereforemga is the maximum value of the potential energy.…
