  • A
    $2 \sqrt{3} V$
  • B
    $\frac{2V}{\sqrt{3}}$
  • C

Spaceman Fred's spaceship (which has negligible mass) is in an elliptical orbit about Planet Bob. The minimum distance between the spaceship and the planet is $R$; the maximum distance between the spaceship and the planet is $2R$. At the point of maximum distance,Spaceman Fred is traveling at speed $v_0$. He then fires his thrusters so that he enters a circular orbit of radius $2R$. What is his new speed?
