Two Earth satellites, A and B, each of mass mmm = 940 kg, are launched into circular orbits around the Earth's center. Satellite A orbits at an altitude of 4500km, and satellite B orbits at an altitude of 11100 km.

What are the potential energies of the two satellites?

What are the kinetic energies of the two satellites?

How much work would it require to change the orbit of satellite A to match that of satellite B?
