Use the values RE = 6370 km = 3960 mi for the radius of the earth.

Suppose that you place a satellite into an elliptic earth orbit with an initial radius r0 = 6700 km and an initial velocity v0 such that the maximum radius of the orbit is 13,400 km.

(a) Determine v0


(b) What is the magnitude of the satellite’s velocity when it is at its maximum radius?
