Question
  1. How much energy must be given to the satellite if r = 12 000 km?
                                            
  2. Calculate the new radius of the satellite if Joules of energy are added to it. 
                             
  3. How much energy must be given to the satellite in order for it to escape Earth’s gravity completely (make its orbit’s radius infinitely large)?
The amount of energy needed to increase the radius of orbit of a 500-kg satellite from its original orbit
r – 10 000
of radius 10 000 km can be modelled by the function E = 2×100
where E is the energy, in
Joules, and r is the new radius, in kilometers.
