If $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity on the earth's surface, the gain in the potential energy of an object of mass m raised from the surface of earth to a height equal to the radius of the earth $R$, is
If $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity on the earth's surface, the gain in the potential energy of an object of mass m raised from the surface of earth to a height equal to the radius of the earth $R$, is
$\frac{1}{2}mgR$
$2 mgR$
$mgR$
$\frac{1}{4}mgR$
If $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity on the earth's surface, the gain in the potential energy of an object of mass m raised from the surface of earth to a height equal to the radius of the earth $R$, is
Gain in potential energy $\Delta U = \frac{{mgh}}{{1 + \frac{h}{R}}}$
If $h = R$ then $\Delta U = \frac{{mgR}}{{1 + \frac{R}{R}}} = \frac{1}{2}mgR$
