Prove that for an earth satellite, the ratio of its velocity at apogee (when farthest from the earth) to its velocity at perigee (when nearest to the earth) is the inverse ratio of its distances from apogee and perigee.

In the question number 15, the ratio of the velocity of the satellite at apogee and perigee is

A satellite of mass m is in an elliptical orbit around the earth of mass M(M gt gt m) the speed of the satellite at its nearest point ot the earth (perigee) is sqrt((6GM)/(5R)) where R= its closest distance to the earth it is desired to transfer this satellite into a circular orbit around the earth of radius equal its largest distance from the earth. Find the increase in its speed to be imparted at the apogee (farthest point on the elliptical orbit).
