Question: The paths of two small satellites, ( X ) and ( Y ) , of equal mass of 9 . 0

The paths of two small satellites, \( X \) and \( Y \), of equal mass of 9.00 kg each, are shown below. They orbit around a massive star, as illustrated, with \(\mathrm{M}=6.20\times 10^{29}\) ko. The orhits are in the nlane of the naner and are drawn to scale.
In the statements below KE is kinetic energy, PE is potential energy, and ILI is magnitude of the angular momentum.
The ILI of \( X \) at \( p \) is that at w. The PE of \( Y \) at a is the PE of \( X \) at \( s \).
At \( m \), the PE of \( Y \) is that of \( X \).
At \( m \), the \( K E \) of \( Y \) is that of \( X \).
The speed of \( X \) at c is that at m
