Speed stays the same despite changes in altitude; the system's preservation of total mechanical energy dictates constant velocity increase potential decreases kinetic counterpart.

Reducing slows down the satellite and it falls back towards the planet due to a lower possible escape velocity.

Increasing results in higher speed because it is further away from the gravitational source, thus requiring faster travel to overcome its weaker pull.

Satellite speed decreases with increased altitude due to an increase in radius, reducing the need for velocity to achieve the centripetal acceleration necessary to maintain orbit stability.

An external constant force acts only on glider A without interacting with B.

Glider A receives an impulse from an external source but transfers it completely to B.

Glider A accelerates due to its own propulsion mechanism affecting only itself.

Glider A exerts a force on B for time t, while simultaneously glider B exerts an equal force on A for time t.

Neutron star collisions occur at speeds where relativistic effects are negligible and don't affect conservation laws.

Models assume that electromagnetic forces supersede gravitational ones which isn't true for neutron stars.

Conservation of linear motion assumes uniform gravitational fields which do not exist between neutron stars.

Neutron stars generate strong gravitational fields that could introduce significant non-conservative forces not accounted for in simple models.
