When a satellite is near Earth, its orbital trajectory may trace out a hyperbola, a parabola, or an ellipse. The type of trajectory depends on the satellite's velocity in meters per second. It will be hyperbolic if , parabolic if , and elliptical if , where is a constant and is the distance in meters from the satellite to the center of Earth. Solve the problem.
-If a satellite is scheduled to leave Earth's gravitational influence, its velocity must be increased so that its trajectory changes from elliptical to hyperbolic. Determine the minimum increase in velocity necessary for a
