In the following problems, except where otherwise indicated, assume that the radius of the earth is 6378 km, the earth’s mass is 5.976(1024) kg, the mass of the sun is 1.99(1030) kg, and the gravitational constant is G = 66.73(10-12) m3/(kg • s2).

The rocket is in free flight along an elliptical trajectory A'A. The planet has no atmosphere, and its mass is 0.70 times that of the earth. If the rocket has an apoapsis and periapsis as shown in the figure, determine the speed of the rocket when it is at point A.
