Dynamics Problem 3.174 involving conservation of energy complete explanation worked out in detail.

An artificial satellite moving in an elliptical orbit has a velocity of 25000 km/hr at an altitude of 2200 km at point A. Determine its velocity v_B at point B where the altitude is 2500 km. Treat the Earth as a sphere of R = 6371 km and use g = 9.825 m/s2 for the acceleration of gravity at the Earth's surface.
