To find the velocity with which a body must be thrown from the Earth's surface to reach a maximum height of \(4R_e\) above the Earth's surface, we can use the principle of conservation of mechanical energy. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Values:** - Radius of the Earth, \(R_e = 6400 \, \text{km} = 6400 \times 10^3 \, \text{m}\) - Acceleration due to gravity, \(g = 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2\) - Maximum height above the Earth's surface, \(h = 4R_e = 4 \times 6400 \times 10^3 \, \text{m}\) ...
