2. On their way back from the Moon, suppose that when the capsule holding Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins was halfway between the Earth and the Moon (192000 km from the center of the Earth and the center of the Moon), its speed was 2 kın/hr. Assuming they don't fire their thrusters, what is the specd of the capsule when reaches Earth? (If this seems the same as the previous problem, just with bigger numbers, you are missing a very important concept!)
