try this --- nice one --- gravity!

a satellite is in a circular orbit very close to the surface of a planet. at some point it is given an impulse along its direction of motion, causing the vel to increase by μ times. it now moves in an elliptical orbit with the planet at the center of the ellipse.
the max possible value of μ is : :

1) 2

2) √2

3) √2-1

4)1/(√2 - 1)
