A positron ( the antiparticle of electron ) has a mass of 9.11x10^-31kg and a charge +e=+1.6x10^-19 C. Suppose a positron moves in the vicinity of an alpha particle, which has a charge +2e=3.20x 10^-19 C. The alpha particle is more than 7000 times as massive as the positron, so we assume that it is at rest in some inertial frame inference. When the positron is 1.00x 10^-10m from the alpha particle, it is moving directly away from the alpha particle at a speed of 3.00x 10^6 m/s. (a). What is the position's speed he the particles are 2.00 x 10^-10m apart?
(b)What is the position's speed when it is very far away from the alpha particle?
(c) How would the situation change if the moving particle were an electron (same mass as the positron but opposite charge)?

To place a communications satellite into a geosynchronous orbit at an altitude of 22,240 mi above the surface of the earth, the satellite first is released from a space shuttle , which is in a circular orbit at an altitude of 185 mi, and then is propelled by an upper-stage booster to its final altitude. as the satellite passes through a, the booster's motor is fired to insert the satellite into an elliptic transfer orbit. the booster is again fired at b to insert the satellite into a geosynchronous orbit. knowing that the second firing increases the speed of the satellite by 4810ft/s, determine (a.) the speed of the satellite as it approaches b on the elliptic transfer orbit, (b.) the increase in speed resulting from the first firing at a.
