(a)

Answer to Problem 12.104P
The increase in speed required at point A for the satellite to achieve the escape velocity and enter a parabolic orbit is
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The altitude of circular orbit of the satellite from the surface of the earth (r) is 19,110 km.
The radius of the earth (R) is 6,370 km.
Calculation:
Find the equation of product (GM) of the constant of gravitation G and the mass M of the earth using the equation:
Substitute
