(D) The motion of a satellite depends on its horizontal velocity $(v)$ relative to the critical velocity $(v_c)$ and escape velocity $(v_e)$.If $v If $v = v_c$,the satellite will revolve in a circular orbit.If $v_c If $v = v_e$,the satellite will escape the gravitational field of the Earth.Therefore,if the horizontal velocity is greater than the critical velocity but less than the escape velocity,the satellite will revolve in an elliptical orbit.
