1.	A satellite S is moving in an elliptical orbit around the earth. The mass of the satellite is very small compared to the mass of the earth
Answer» the acceleration of S is always directed towards the centre of the earth the ANGULAR MOMENTUM of S about the centre of the earth CHANGES in direction, but its magnitude remains constant The total MECHANICAL energy of S varies periodically with time the linear momentum of S remains constant in magnitude Answer :A
