For elliptical obits: the direction of the velocity of the satellite is _______________________ (always, seldom, never) perpendi
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

For elliptical orbits: seldom

For circular orbits: always

Explanation:

We start by analzying a circular orbit.

For an object moving in circular orbit, the direction of the acceleration (centripetal acceleration) is always perpendicular to the direction of motion of the object.

Since acceleration has the same direction of the force (according to Newton's second law of motion), this means that the direction of the force (the centripetal force) is always perpendicular to the velocity of the object.

So for a circular orbit,

the direction of the velocity of the satellite is always perpendicular to the net force acting upon the satellite.

Now we analyze an elliptical orbit.

An elliptical orbit correponds to a circular orbit "stretched". This means that there are only 4 points along the orbit in which the acceleration (and therefore, the net force) is perpendicular to the direction of motion (and so, to the velocity) of the satellite. These points are the 4 points corresponding to the intersections between the axes of the ellipse and the orbit itself.

Therefore, for an elliptical orbit,

the direction of the velocity of the satellite is seldom perpendicular to the net force acting upon the satellite.

If the velocity is constant, describe the the slope of the graph on a position vs. time graph.
kvv77 [185]

If the velocity is constant, then the position/time graph has a constant slope, meaning a straight line. 

The slope may be any constant value ... positive, negative, or zero.

             -∞  <  slope  <  +∞
