Question

Choose all the correct statements about this situation (see the simulation) from the list below. Assume the mass of the satellite is much less than the mass of the planet. The sum of the gravitational potential energy and the kinetic energy is conserved throughout the orbit. The orbital angular momentum of the satellite is conserved throughout the orbit. As the satellite orbits the planet the gravitational force on the satellite is always perpendicular to the satellite's velocity. Increasing the mass of the satellite increases the orbital period. The linear momentum of the satellite is conserved throughout the orbit. Increasing the mass of the satellite decreases the orbital period. L The kinetic energy of the satellite is conserved throughout the orbit. Running the simulation after pressing the "Kepler's 2nd law" button demonstrates that equal areas of the orbit are swept out in equal time intervals.

Explanation / Answer

The sum of gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy is consvered through out the orbit

the orbital angular momentum of the satellite is conserved through out the orbit

as the satellite orbits the planet the gravitational force on the planet is always perpendicular to the satellite's velocity

running the simulation after pressing the 'kepler's second law' button demonstrates that equal areas of the orbit are swept out equal areas in equal time intervals
