Relative to a nonrotating, Earth-centered Cartesian coordinate system, the ve- locity of a spacecraft is v = −4î+3j – 5k (km/s) and the unit vector in the direction of the radius r is ûr = 0.26726î+0.53452j+0.80178k. Calculate (a) the radial component of the velocity ur, (b) the azimuth component of the velocity v₁, and (c) the flight path angle y.
