2.20 An unmanned satellite orbits the earth with a perigee radius of 10,000 km and an apogee radius
of 100,000 km. Calculate:
(a) the eccentricity of the orbit;
(b) the semimajor axis of the orbit (km);
(c) the period of the orbit (h);
(d) the specific energy of the orbit (km2/s);
(e) the true anomaly (degrees) at which the altitude is 10,000 km;
(f) v, and v (km/s) at the points found in part (e);
(g) the speed at perigee and apogee (km/s).
