What can you infer about the linear velocity of a satellite in an elliptical orbit as it travels from perigee to apogee?

If the satellite is at the perigee it would go faster and if it was at the apogee it would go slower.

What path earth travels on?
An elliptical orbit round the Sun.
What do you call an object that travels around a planet?
A moon or satellite.
Which term refers to the speed at which a planet travel in its orbit?
Orbital velocity refers to the speed at which a planet travels in its orbit.
What is the value of this constant velocity if an object travels at a constant velocity for a time period of 11.31 s over a displacement of 10.55m?
Velocity = Displacement/Time =10.55m/11.31s = 0.932m/s Value of constant velocity is 0.932m/s.
Does velocity increase impact?
Velocity is the speed something travels, so if anything travels at a higher rate of speed, the impact will be greater. No matter what the material speeding may appear to be, it will always impact harder with greater velocity. It's like shooting a paintball up close to a wall. The impact will be far harder than at long range, and a large splatter will appear on the wall. That's velocity for yah!
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.
Why velocity is not constant if satellite travels with constant spped at a fixed elevatiopn?
Speed is a scalar quantity meaning it has only magnitude. Velocity is a vector meaning it has magnitude and direction. Whilst the satellite's speed is constant its direction is constantly changing. If its direction didn't change it would fly off in a straight line. Since its direction is changing, the velocity must be changing. And also since the velocity is changing, the satellite is also accelerating (towards the centre of the earth).
What path earth travels on?
An elliptical orbit round the Sun.
A car has a mass of 20000kg and travels at 10000ms what is its velocity?
You mean, travels at 10000 m/s.....if so...Its velocity is 10000m/s
What is velocity of a wave?
How quickly the wave travels
Moon or Object that travels around the planets?
A satellite.
What is the object that travels around the earth for communication?
a satellite
What measures speed and direction an object travels?
velocity
What does velocity tell you about a moving object?
Velocity tells you what speed a moving object travels at and in what direction.
What is group velocity?
The official definition for the word group velocity is "the speed at which the energy of a wave travels."
What is velocity of a car that travels 120 km in 2h?
Just divide the distance by the time. To know the velocity, you would also need to know in what direction the car travels.
