When a satellite in an elliptical orbit approaches closer to the planet it is orbiting its kinetic energy is decrease or increases?
incresse
A satellite in a low earth orbit moving faster than a satellite in a geosynchronous orbit?
YES As height increases, speed of satellite decreases.
The path of a satellite orbiting the earth is best described as linear hyperbolic parabolic or elliptical?
Elliptical.
Advantages of active satellite?
1.) Error Probality decreases 2.) C/N Ratio Increases 3.) gain of signal increasesThe official definition of an active satellite is "A satellite carrying a station intended to transmit or retransmit radio communication signals."
A satellite in an elliptical orbit gains speed when it?
A satellite in an elliptical orbit gains speed as it draws closer to the central body and loses speed as it moves farther away from the central body.
What best describes the impact of satellite technology?
Satellite technology increases the speed of global communications A satellite technology increases the speed of global communications
A satellite in an elliptical orbit travels at constant what?
If the path is perfectly circular, yes, the speed is constant. This should not be confused with the velocity, because while speed is constant, its direction is not; therefore velocity is always changing.
What is pogee?
Apogee is the point at which a satellite in an elliptical orbit is At its apogee, the satellite travels slower than at any other point in its orbit.
What is a satellite orbit?
A satellite's orbit is just the path it follows around the Earth or some other planet.Satellites' orbits can be elliptical or circular.
Gravity affects the speed of a satellite in an elliptical orbit?
Yes. Gravity affects EVERYTHING.
If a satellite's radial velocity is zero at all times its orbit must be elliptical or parabolic?
circular.
What is an apolune?
An apolune is the point of an elliptical lunar orbit where the distance between the satellite and the Moon is at its maximum.
