A spacecraft traveling along a parabolic path toward the planet Jupiter is expected to reach point A with a velocity vA
of magnitude 26.9 km/s. Its engines will then be fired to slow it down, placing it into an elliptic orbit which will bring it to within 100
  103
km of Jupiter. Determine the decrease in speed Dv
at point A which will place the spacecraft into the required orbit. The mass of Jupiter is 319 times the mass of the earth.
