1.

A satellite orbiting certain planet has apogee R_(1) and perigee equal to R_(2), then find the minimum kinetic energy that should be given to the satellite to enable it to escape the planate.

Answer»

Solution :`2A=R_(1)+R_2`
`a=(R_1+R_2)/(2)`
`tau.epsi=-(GMM)/(2a)`
`k.epsi."should be given "=|tau.epsi.|`
`=("Gmm")/(2a)`
`=("Gmm")/(2(R_(1)+R_(2))`
