hello
for a satellite in orbit, as it gets closer towards earth the kinetic energy increases, but somehow the velocity decreases? is it because to calculate the kinetic energy of a satellite you use vorb which should only be used when a satellite is in a stable orbit, and since this satellite is technically unstable since it is falling back towards earth vorb doesnt apply anymore? but how would this work because that means kinetic energy would be decreasing which opposes whats supposed to happen. i have a test tmrw on this pls reply asap thank you
