Explanation / Answer
Here ,
mass , m = 17 Kg
change in gravitational potential energy = final potential energy - initial kinetic energy
change in gravitational potential energy = G*M*m1/d1 - G*M*m1/d2
change in gravitational potential energy = 6.673 *10^-11 * 5.98 *10^24 * 17 *(- 1/(2 * 6371*10^3) + 1/(6371 *10^3))
change in gravitational potential energy = 5.31 *10^8 J
the change in gravitational potential energy is D) 5.31 *10^8 J
