A spacecraft traveling along a parabolic path toward the planet Jupiter is expected to reach point A with a velocity vAof 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 103km of Jupiter. Determine the decrease in speed Dvat point A which will place the spacecraft into the required orbit. The mass of Jupiter is 319 times the mass of the earth.
