Answer:

The greatest gravitational potential energy is at apogee. The greatest kinetic energy is at perigee. Total Energy is constant.

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy is at its greatest when the satellite is farthest  from the earth, this point is called the apogee. And at this point the kinetic energy will be at its minimum.

The kinetic energy is greatest when the satellite is closest to the earth, this point is the perigee. And at this point the gravitational potential energy will be at a minimum level.

the total energy is the sum of the gravitational potential energy and the kinetic energy.As the satellite orbits the earth, the kinetic energy and the gravitational potential energymay be interchanged but the total energy will remain unchanged.

State how hurricanes are predicted
andrezito [222]
Hurricanes are predicted using a Saffir-Simpson Scale. This scale is used to measure the intensity of hurricane most often than not. However, it may be used to identify a hurricane as well. A hurricane is categorised based on the wind speeds.  

74 - 95 mph --> category 1 
96 -110 mph --> category 2 
111 - 129 mph --> category 3 
130 - 156 mph --> category 4 
157 mph + --> category 5 

Typically, the formation of a hurricane occurs when moist warm air if absorbed from the Atlantic or Pacific Ocean and rises. The moisture will then evaporate further rising and heating until the moist air is twisted and circulation high in the atmosphere.
