The curves for potential energy (U) and kinetic energy (Ek) of a two particle system are shown in figure. At what points the system will be bound?

a
Only at point D
b
Only at point A
c
At point D and A
d
At points A, B and C

Imagine that you are in a spacecraft orbiting around the earth in a circle of radius 7000 km (from the centre of the earth). If you decrease the magnitude of mechanical energy of the spacecraft - earth system by 10% by firing the rockets, then what is the greatest height you can take your spacecraft above the surface of the earth? [Re = 6400 km]
