A rocket carrying a new 990-kg satellite into orbit misfires and places the satellite in an orbit with an altitude of 120 km, well below its operational altitude in low-Earth orbit.
(a) What would be the height of the satellite's orbit if its
total energy were 545 MJ greater?
km
(b) What would be the difference in the system's kinetic energy?
(Include the sign of the value in your answer.)
MJ
(c) What would be the difference in the system's potential energy?
(Include the sign of the value in your answer.)
MJ
