A satellite S is moving in an elliptical orbit around the earth. The mass of the satellite is very small as compared to the mass of the earth. Then,
the angular momentum of S about the centre of the earth changes in direction, but its magnitude remains constant
the total mechanical energy of S varies periodically with time
the linear momentum of S remains constant in magnitude
the linear momentum of S remains constant in magnitude
