A small satellite revolves around a heavy planet in a circular orbit At certain point in its orbit a sharp impulse acts on it and instantaneously increases its kinetic energy to k 2 times without change in its direction of motion Show that in its subsequent motion the ratio of its maximum and minimum distances k from the planet is assuming the mass of the satellite is negligibly small as compared to that of the 2 k planet 1
