1. (30 points total) A planet has mass M₁. 1.a. (10 points) If a rocket of mass m is a distance r from the center of the planet, what is its potential energy V? 1.b. (10 points) Now suppose the planet has a moon of mass M2, whose center is a distance Y from the center of the planet. If the moon is in front of the rocket (that is, overhead), what is the potential energy of the rocket now? M, 1.c. (10 points) Suppose the moon is on the opposite side of the planet from the rocket (that is, beneath). What is the potential energy of the rocket now? A₁ OM. 1.
