Answer:

your friend did a work of 1717.34 J

Explanation:

The sum of the work made by your friend and you is equal the change in the kinetic energy, so:

$W_a+W_b=\frac{1}{2}mv_f^{2}-\frac{1}{2}mv_i^{2}$

Where $W_a$ is the work that you did, $W_b$ is the work that your friend did, m is the mass of the satellite and $v_f$ and $v_i$ are the final and initial speeds
