The space probe Cassini has engines which

can allow it to travel at 72,000 km/hr.
However, physicists have discovered that by
using a "gravity assist maneuver," the probe
has the ability to increase its speed by 75%.
When using the gravity assist maneuver, how
fast will the space probe travel, in kilometers
per hour?
