A satellite orbits the Earth along the orbit shown. The minimum and maximum distances from the center of the Earth are RP = 4.5 × 107 m and RA = 6.163 × 107 m, respectively, where the subscripts P and A stand for perigee (the point on the orbit closest to Earth) and apogee (the point on the orbit farthest from Earth), respectively. Modeling the satellite as a particle and assuming that the center of the Earth can be chosen as the origin of an inertial frame of reference, if the satellite’s speed at P is , determine the satellite’s speed at A.
