$A$ satellite of mass $m$ is at a distance $a$ from a star of mass $M$. The speed of the satellite is $u$. Suppose the law of universal gravity is $F = -G \frac{Mm}{r^{2.1}}$ instead of $F = -G \frac{Mm}{r^2}$. Find the speed of the satellite when it is at a distance $b$ from the star.

  • A
    $\sqrt{u^2 + 2GM \left( \frac{1}{b^{1.1}} - \frac{1}{a^{1.1}} \right)}$
  • B
    $\sqrt{u^2 + GM \left( \frac{1}{a^{1.1}} - \frac{1}{b^{1.1}} \right)}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{u^2 + \frac{2}{1.1} GM \left( \frac{1}{b^{1.1}} - \frac{1}{a^{1.1}} \right)}$
  • D
    $\sqrt{u^2 + \frac{2}{2.1} GM \left( \frac{1}{b^{1.1}} - \frac{1}{a^{1.1}} \right)}$
