What are the kinetic energies of the two satellites

Reference no: EM13664449

Two Earth satellites, A and B, each of mass m=950kg, are launched into circular Orbits around the Earth’s center. Satellite A orbits at an altitude of 4200 km, and satellite B orbits at an altitude of 12,600km. (a) What are the potential energies of the two satellites? (b) What are the kinetic energies of the two satellites? (c) How much work would it require to change the orbit of satellite A to match that of satellite B?
