Physics

A satellite is put into an elliptical orbit around the Earth.When the satellite is at its perigee, its nearest point to theEarth, its height above the ground is hp=215.0 km,hp=215.0 km, andit is moving with a speed of vp=8.450 km/s.vp=8.450 km/s. Thegravitational constant GG equals 6.67×10−11 m3⋅kg−1⋅s−26.67×10−11m3·kg−1·s−2 and the mass of Earth equals 5.972×1024 kg.5.972×1024kg.

When the satellite reaches its apogee, at its farthest pointfrom the Earth, what is its height haha above the ground?

For this problem, choose gravitational potential energy of thesatellite to be 00 at an infinite distance from Earth.
