Question:
A spacecraft is describing a circular orbit at an altitude of 930 mi above the surface of the earth. As it passes through point A, its speed is reduced by 40 percent and it enters an elliptic crash trajectory with the apogee at point A. Neglecting air resistance, determine the speed of the spacecraft when it reaches the earth??s surface at point B.
