Question: An elliptical path of a satellite has an eccentricity e. If it has speed v p when it is at perigee, P, determine its speed

An elliptical path of a satellite has an eccentricity e. If it has speed vp when it is at perigee, P, determine its speed when it arrives at apogee, A. Also, how far is it from the earth's surface when it is at A?Units Used: Mm = 10 km Given: e = 0.130 Vp 15

Units Used: Mm = 10 km Given: e = 0.130 Vp 15 = G = 6.673 10 Me Re Mm hr = = 11 N.- 5.976x1024 6.378 106 m kg 2 2 kg
