The path of a satellite orbiting the earth is best described as linear hyperbolic parabolic or elliptical?
Elliptical. The satellite follows a curved path around the Earth known as an elliptical orbit, where it travels at varying distances from the planet.
How did the length of the radius vector change between apogee and perigee for the elliptical orbit?
In an elliptical orbit, the radius vector, which connects the center of the central body to the orbiting object, varies in length as the object moves between apogee and perigee. At perigee, the radius vector is at its shortest, representing the closest distance to the central body, while at apogee, it is at its longest, indicating the farthest distance. As the orbiting object travels from apogee to perigee, the radius vector decreases in length, reflecting the gravitational pull that accelerates the object toward the central body. This change in the radius vector is a key characteristic of elliptical orbits, governed by Kepler's laws of planetary motion.
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.
Does Halley comet always get less velocity?
Halley's Comet experiences varying velocities as it travels along its elliptical orbit around the Sun. As it approaches the Sun, gravitational forces increase its speed, reaching a maximum velocity at perihelion (the closest point to the Sun). As it moves away from the Sun, it slows down due to the gravitational pull diminishing. Thus, while Halley's Comet does experience a decrease in velocity after perihelion, it does not always have a consistently lower velocity throughout its entire orbit.
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 is the orbital velocity of the planet mars?
The orbital velocity of Mars is approximately 24.1 km/s (about 54,000 mph). This is the speed at which Mars travels around the Sun in its elliptical path. It takes Mars about 687 Earth days to complete one orbit.
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 measures speed and direction an object travels?
Velocity measures both speed and direction that an object travels. The magnitude of velocity represents the speed of the object, while the direction of velocity indicates the direction in which the object is moving.
What is velocity of a wave?
How quickly the wave travels
What is the object that travels around the earth for communication?
a satellite
Moon or Object that travels around the planets?
A satellite.
