1.

A satellite is going around the earth in an elliptical orbit and has maximum and minimum distance from the centre of earth equal to 10r and r respectively. It was planned to fire on board rocket so as to increase the energy of the satellite by maximum amount. Assume that the rocket is fired for a small time (almost instantaneous) and gives an impulse J to the satellite in forward direction. Take J to be small compared to overall momentum of the satellite.

Answer» Correct Answer - (b) J=0.01 m sqrt((GM)/r)`
