Concept explainers
In exercises that require numerical values, use Table 12.7.1 and the following values, where needed:
(a) Suppose that a space probe is in a circular orbit at an altitude of 180 mi above the surface of the Earth. Use the result in Exercise 4 to find its speed.
(b) During a very short period of time, a thruster rocket on the space probe is fired to increase the speed of the probe by
