Q.

A satellite orbits a spherical planet close to its surface, in a circular path, with an orbital speed v0. Calculate (approximately) the impulse per unit mass to be delivered to the satellite in the direction of its velocity, so that it reaches a maximum altitude (above the planet's surface) equal to its radius.
