Question

The paths of two small satellites, X and Y, of equal mass of 5.00 kg each, are shown below. They orbit around a massive star, as illustrated, with M = 5.20×1029 kg. The orbits are in the plane of the paper and are drawn to scale.

In the statements below KE is kinetic energy, PE is potential energy, and |L| is magnitude of the angular momentum. Determine if statement is less than, greater than, or equal too.

1. The speed of X at a is .... that at r

2. The PE of X at a is .... the PE of Y at w

3. At p, the PE of Y is .... that of X

4. The |L| of Y at c is .... that at m

5. At p, the KE of Y is .... that of X
