To find the maximum height attained by the particle projected from the surface of the Earth, we can use the principles of energy conservation. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Understand the problem We need to find the maximum height \( h \) attained by a particle projected with an initial speed \( v_0 = 4 \, \text{km/s} \) from the surface of the Earth. The radius of the Earth \( R = 6400 \, \text{km} \) and the acceleration due to gravity \( g = 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2 \). ### Step 2: Convert units Convert the initial speed and the radius of the Earth into meters for consistency: - \( v_0 = 4 \, \text{km/s} = 4000 \, \text{m/s} \) ...
