17. 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. Then,
R, th
is sh
(1) the acceleration of S is always directed towards
the centre of the earth.
(1)
(2) the angular momentum of S about the centre
of the earth changes in direction, but its
magnitude remains constant.
(3) the total mechanical energy of S varies
periodically with time.
(3
(4) the linear momentum of S remains constant in





why not 3 Rd answer
