Ok this is what i have so far:
A: Fg = (GmM)/r^2 = (GmMe)/bRe^2
B: Total Energy = KE + PE = (-GMem)/a + 1/2mvo^2
C: (-GMem)/a + 1/2mvo^2 = 1/2mv^2 ?
D: change in KE = 1/2mv^2 - 1/2mvo^2 => 2(change in KE) = mv^2 - mvo^2
E: W = Fdcos / W = Change in KE or Change in Energy / W =...
A satellite of mass m is in an elliptical orbit around the Earth, which has mass Me and radius Re. The orbit varies from closest approach of a at point A to maximum distance of b from the center of the Earth at point B. At point A, the speed of the satellite is vo.Express your answers in terms...
