i was wondering, is there a particular formula to calculate the velocity of a object in an elliptical orbit. Let's say a satellite orbiting around the earth, and the orbit is elliptical, so how do u calculate the velocity at a certain distance from earth. I tried using the v^2=GM/r, but that's only for circular orbits.
thx for ur time
