A 700-kg satellite is in an elliptical orbit around Earth with a perigee (the point of closest approach) of  7.50 × 106 m from the center of Earth and an apogee (the furthest point from the center of Earth) of  11.5 × 106 m. What is the total energy of the satellite? The mass of Earth is 5.97 × 1024 kg and G = 6.67 x 10-11 N•m2/kg2.
A) -4.51 × 1010 J
B) -3.10 × 1010 J
C) -2.08 × 1010 J
D) -1.04 × 1010 J
E) -1.47 × 1010J
