The path of a very small satellite S in an elliptical orbit around a massive sph

Question

The path of a very small satellite S in an elliptical orbit around a massive spherical planet P is shown in the figure below. The distance from 3 to 4 is the same as from 4 to 5,9 to 10, and 10 to 10. 6 Select True, False, Greater than, Less than, or Equal to For the shape of the orbit S shown, P could be located at X The KE of S is constant. The total PE + KE of S at'3' is that at '7' The size of the acceleration of S at '5' is at T. The angular momentum of S varies with position. The speed of S at position 7' is at'l' S has its minimum speed at '4.

Explanation / Answer

1)true- any focii of ellipse can be chosen

2)false- only total energy is conserved

3)eqaul to

4)

5)false-conserved

6)equal to

7)true- minimmum speed at 4
