A spaceship travels in a circular orbit around a planet it


A spaceship travels in a circular orbit around a planet. It applies abrupt thrust and increases its speed by a factor f. If the goal is to change the orbit from a circle to a parabola, what should f if the thrust points in the tangential direction? Is your answer any dissimilar if the thrust points in some other direction? What is the distance of closest approach if the thrust points in the radial direction?
