A satellite is given a boost of 595 MJ of energy to move it from its initial orbit at an altitude of 150 km to a higher altitude orbit. If the satellite has a mass of 1.05 X 10³ kg, what is the new altitude it reaches in km? Take the mass of the Earth to be 5.97 1024 kg and its radius to be 6.371 106 m.
