Consider the launch of the space shuttle. from launch to its orbital altitude, it goes up 400 km. charlie calculates the change in gravitational potential energy in the shuttle-earth system by using the equation mgh, where m is the mass of the shuttle, g is the acceleration due to gravity at the surface of the earth, and h is the 400 km. deval, on the other hand, calculates the change in gravitational potential energy in the shuttle-earth system by using the equation -gmm/r to find the initial potential energy, where m is the mass of the earth, and r is the radius of the earth, and subtracting the initial potential energy from the final potential energy, calculated using -gmm/(r+h). who does this calculation correctly? select the single best statement about this from the statements below.

they both get it right - the two calculations give the same answer
