Givens

Givens and Labels:

m = 2100 kg (Mass of satellite)

M_E = 5.974x10²⁴ kg (Mass of the Earth)

r_o = R_E
= 6378 km (Initial position of satellite at the surface of the Earth)

r_c = a = ? (Radius of the geostationary, circular orbit, its semimajor axis)

P = 24 hr
= 86400 s (Period of the satellite in a circular orbit)

v_s = ? (Velocity in geostationary orbit)

v_o = ? (Initial vertical velocity needed to reach r_cin part D)

v_E = ? (Velocity of the Earth's surface at the Equator)

v_a = ? (Velocity at aphelion in part D)
