To calculate the change in gravitational potential energy between two objects, we can use the formula:
ΔPE = - G * (m1 * m2) * (1/r2 - 1/r1)
Where: ΔPE = change in gravitational potential energy G = gravitational constant (approximately 6.67 x 10^-11 N m^2/kg^2) m1, m2 = masses of the objects (33 Mg and 18 Mg, respectively) r1, r2 = initial and final distances between the objects (81 m and 3 m, respectively)
Plugging in the values:
ΔPE = - (6.67 x 10^-11) * (33 x 10^6 kg) * (18 x 10^6 kg) * (1/3 - 1/81) ≈ - (6.67 x 10^-11) * (33 x 10^6) * (18 x 10^6) * (0.3333 - 0.0123) ≈ - (6.67 x 10^-11) * (33 x 10^6) * (18 x 10^6) * 0.321
Therefore, the change in gravitational potential energy between the objects is approximately -191.84 x 10^6 joules.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
