Answer:
When the velocity of satellite is more than the orbital velocity but less than the escape velocity the total energy is negative and the path is elliptical. The centre of the earth being one of the focus.
When the velocity of the satellite is equal to the escape velocity the satellite escapes to infinity and the path is parabolic.
When the velocity is greater than the escape velocity the path followed is hyperbolic.
