Two identical earth satellites, A and B, are to be launched into circular orbits about Earth's center. Satellite A is to orbit at an altitude of 5290 km. Satellite B is to orbit at an altitude of 22500 km. The radius of Earth is 6400 km.
a) What is the ratio of the mechanical energy of satellite A to that of satellite B, in orbit?
b)What is the ratio of the angular speed of satellite B to that of satellite A, in orbit?
c) What is the ratio of (magnitude of) angular momentum of satellite A to that of satellite B, in orbit?
