Determine the minimum amount of energy needed to move a satellite from its orbit around the earth to an infinite distance from the earth. the mass of the satellite is 7.45 x 10^3 kg and its orbital radius is 7.50 x 10^6 m. take the mass of the earth to be 5.97 x 10^24 kg.

Explanation:

Given

mass of satellite

orbital radius

mass of Earth

Minimum amount of Energy to move Satellite from its orbit to an infinite distance is sum of Potential Energy + Kinetic Energy of Satellite

Where

i.e. Energy is required to provide to move Satellite out of its orbit

the answer is 46 mls because when you add the speed per second it increses the speed
