A satellite moves in an elliptical orbit about a planet. The maximum and minimum velocities of the satellite are `3 xx 10^(4)` m / s and `1 xx 10^(3) m / s`, respectively. If the minimum. distance of the satellite from the planet is `(m)/(n) xx 10^(3)` km then find `(m-n)`. (The maximum distance of the satellite from the planet is `4 xx 10^(4)` km.
