A 1590 kg satellite orbits the earth at an altitude of 504


A 1590 kg satellite orbits the Earth at an altitude of 50.4 km. It is desired to increase the altitude of the orbit to 298 km.

How much energy must be added to the system to effect this change in alti- tude? The universal gravitational constant is 6.67259 × 10?11 N · m2/kg2 ,, the radius of the Earth is 6.37×106 m, and its mass is 5.98×1024 kg.
