Question
Which of the following statements is correct about a satellite in elliptical orbit?
Explanation
In an elliptical orbit, speed varies (faster at perihelion, slower at aphelion) due to conservation of angular momentum, making option 3 correct. As per NCERT, applying relevant law/formula with correct units and sign convention leads to Its speed varies with distance. This satisfies dimensional consistency and physical conditions given, so option C is scientifically correct.
