Physics

A satellite is in an elliptical orbit around the earth. Thedistance from the satellite to the center of the earth ranges from7.2 Mm at perigee (where the speed is 8.0 km/s) to 9.9 Mm atapogee.

1. Assume the initial conditions are x = 0, y = 7.2 × 106 m, vx= 8.0×103 m/s, and vy = 0. Use python program to print its speed,distance from the earth, kinetic energy, potential energy, andtotal mechanical energy for each iteration. (What equations shouldI put in to the program?)

2. Is mechanical energy conserved?
