Is there any position in the elliptical orbit of a satellite where the tangential component of the acceleration is greater than the component perpendicular to the tangential component? Is there any position in the elliptical orbit of a satellite where the tangential component of the acceleration is greater than the component perpendicular to the tangential component?
a. The existence of such a position depends on the parameters of the elliptical orbit.
b. No, such a position never exist in the elliptical orbit.
c. Yes, such a position always exist in the elliptical orbit.
