NOTE: This is a multi-part question. Once an answer is submitted, you will be unable to return to this part. A space vehicle is in a circular orbit of 2200-km radius around the moon. To transfer it to a smaller circular orbit of 2059- km radius, the vehicle is first placed on an elliptic path AB by reducing its speed by 26.3 m/s as it passes through A. The mass of the moon is 73.49 × 102' kg.
