4. Orbit Quantities. Compute the specific angular momentum vector, specific angular momentum, eccentricity and perigee for an Earth satellite \( (\mathrm{m}=3.986 \times 105 \mathrm{~km} 3 / \mathrm{s} 2) \) which at some point of time was detected to have position and velocity: \( r=[-5633.9,-2644.9,2834.4] \quad \mathrm{km} \) \( v=[2.39805,-7.02301,-1.79578] \mathrm{km} / \mathrm{sec} \) Sketch this orbit (in the orbital plane; no need for \( 3 \mathrm{D} \) pictures here)
