A satellite move fastest when its closest to the Earth. The other correct options are same direction, speed up, opposite direction and slow.
Velocity of a satellite around the planet.
If a satellite is orbiting the Earth in elliptical motion, then it will move fastest when its closest to the Earth (based on Kepler's, law).
While moving towards the Earth (along the path from D to A) there is a component of force in the same direction as the motion; this causes the satellite to speed up.
While moving away from the Earth (along the path from A to D) there is a component of force in the opposite direction as the motion; this causes the satellite to slow.
