An artificial satellite is orbiting Earth with pericenter at 350km altitude and apocenter at 7500 km.
a. Calculate the orbit apocenter,pericenter, semi-major axis, eccentricity and the location of thefocal center (distance between Earth and the center of thesatellite elliptical orbit)
b. Using the third law of Kepler, calculatethe mean motion of this artificial satellite
