a satellite of mass m is in an elliptical orbit around the earth, which has mass me and radius re. the orbit varies from a closest approach of distance 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. assume that the gravitational potential energy ug = 0 when masses are an infinite distance apart. Express your answers in terms of a, b, m, Me, Re, vo, and G.
a. Determine the total energy of the satellite when it is at A. b. What is the magnitude of the angular momentum of the satellite about the center of the Earth when it is at A? c. Determine the velocity of the satellite as it passes point B in its orbit.
