Chapter 14, Problem 14-85

(choose chapter or problem)

A 60-kg satellite travels in free flight along an elliptical orbit such that at A, where \(r_{A} = 20 \ Mm\), it has a speed \(v_{A} = 40 \ Mm\h\). What is the speed of the satellite when it reaches point B, where \(r_{B} = 80 \ Mm\)? Hint: See Prob. 14–82, where \(M_{e} = 5.976(10^{24}) \ kg\) and \(G = 66.73(10^{-12}) \ m^{3} / (kg \cdot s^{2})\).
