As a space probe approaching the planet Venus on a parabolic trajectory reaches point A closest to the planet, its velocity is decreased to insert it into a circular orbit. Knowing that the mass and the radius of Venus are 4.87 × 1024 kg and 6052 km, respectively, determine (a) the velocity of the probe as it approaches A, (b) the decrease in velocity required to insert it into the circular orbit.
