An earth satellite is revolving in a circular orbit of radius a withh a velocity `v_(0)`. A gun in the satellite is directly aimed toward earth. A bullet is fired from the gun with muzzle velocity `(v_(0))/2`. Find the ratio of distance of farthest and closest approach of bullet from centre of earth. (Assume that mass of the satellite is very-very large with respect to the mass of the bullet)
