58. A projectile is launched vertically upward from a planet of mass M and radius R; its initial speed is V2 times the escape speed Derive an expression for its speed as a function of the distance r from the planet's center. 59. A spacecraft is in circular orbit 5800 km above Earth's surface CH How much will its altitude decrease if it moves to a new circular orbit where (a) its orbital speed is 10% higher or (b) its orbital m period is 10% shorter? 60. Two meteoroids are 150,000 km from Earth's center and head- ing straight toward Earth, one at 6 km/s, the other at 12 km/s. At what speeds will they strike Earth? 61.
