Question

is velocity of projection of satellite is greater than critical velocity but less than escape velocity then what will happen​

Answer 1

Answer:

Critical velocity of a satellite is defined as the horizontal velocity given to the satellite so that it moves around the earth in a circular orbit.

Escape velocity is the minimum velocity with which an object should be projected so that it escapes the gravitational field of the earth.

If the velocity of projection is greater than or less than the critical velocity, the satellite moves in an elliptical path

If the velocity of projection of the satellite is greater than the critical velocity but less than the escape velocity, the satellite will move in an elliptical orbit but it will not escape the gravitational field of the earth.
