The radii of circular orbits of two satellites $A$ and $B$ of the earth are $4R$ and $R$ respectively,where $R$ is the radius of the earth. If the speed of satellite $B$ is $6V$,then the speed of satellite $A$ will be:

  • A
    $3V$
  • B
    $4V$
  • C
    $12V$
  • D
    $3V/4$

Spaceman Fred's spaceship (which has negligible mass) is in an elliptical orbit about Planet Bob. The minimum distance between the spaceship and the planet is $R$; the maximum distance between the spaceship and the planet is $2R$. At the point of maximum distance,Spaceman Fred is traveling at speed $v_0$. He then fires his thrusters so that he enters a circular orbit of radius $2R$. What is his new speed?
