A satellite moves at a constant speed in a circular orbit about the Earth. Which pair of statements about momentum and kinetic energy are correct.

The momentum and the kinetic energy remains constant.

Explanation:

A uniform circular motion is defined as the motion of a body which moves in a constant speed or at the same speed during the motion.

In the context, it is given that a satellite is moving around the earth in a circular orbit at a constant speed. The satellite has certain momentum as well as energy.

We can conclude that the kinetic energy and the momentum of the satellite remains constant as the momentum and kinetic energy depends on the speed of an object And here the speed of the satellite is constant, so the moment as well as the kinetic energy of the satellite remains constant while moving in a circular path.

explanation:

newton's third law, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
