A spacecraft of mass 1.00 3 104 kg is in a circular orbit
Chapter 13, Problem 64(choose chapter or problem)
A spacecraft of mass 1.00 3 104 kg is in a circular orbit at an altitude of 500 km above the Earths surface. Mission Control wants to fire the engines in a direction tangent to the orbit so as to put the spacecraft in an elliptical orbit around the Earth with an apogee of 2.00 3 104 km, measured from the Earths center. How much energy must be used from the fuel to achieve this orbit? (Assume that all the fuel energy goes into increasing the orbital energy. This model will give a lower limit to the required energy because some of the energy from the fuel will appear as internal energy in the hot exhaust gases and engine parts.)
