Problem 5: A4500-kg spaceship is in a circular orbit 220 km above the surface of Earth. It needs to be moved into a higher circular orbit of 390 km to link up with the space station at that altitude. In this problem you can take the mass of the Earth to be 5.97 x 1024 kg. How much work, in joules, do the spaceship's engines have to perform to move to the higher orbit? Ignore any change of mass due to fuel consumption. Numeric : A numeric value is expected and not an expression. W =
