A spacecraft is traveling at 19,000 mph parallel to the surface of the Earth at an altitude of 250 mi, when it fires a retrorocket to transfer to a different orbit. Determine the change in speed Δv necessary for the spacecraft to reach a minimum altitude of 110 mi during the ensuing orbit. Assume that the change in speed is impulsive; that is, it occurs instantaneously.
