Q.

A satellite of mass ‘m’  is orbiting a planet of mass M in a circular orbit of radius R. The satellite changes its orbit by expelling small amount of fuel [5% of its existing mass ] with high speed U in a direction opposite to the direction of its orbital velocity. Find Umax (approximately) of the expelled mass for which, satellite cannot escape the gravitational field of planet.
