A satellite around the Earth will have an elliptical or (in some cases) a circular orbit. The satellite is constantly accelerating towards the Earth due to the gravity between the Earth and the satellite. However, because of the satellite's tangential velocity, it stays at a relatively constant distance from the Earth.
Acceleration of any mass object is always in the direction of the net force on it.
Since the only force on an orbiting satellite is the mutual force of gravitation
between the satellite and the earth, the satellite's acceleration is always toward
the center of the earth. It's called the "centripetal acceleration".
Yes, the satellite is accelerating because it is revolving around our earth and in a circular motion so its velocity changes every second so it is accelerating.A2. No, the satellite is not accelerating. Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity. But, its velocity is constant. The centrifugal effect is exactly balanced by the pull of gravity (assuming a circular orbit).But a nice question. The net acceleration between these forces is zero.
A satellite revolves around a planet. Planets revolve around a sun.
Yes. The Earth rotates around the Sun, and therefore it is a satellite of the Sun. Anything that rotates around something else can be cositered a satellite.
A moon or satellite. what are the natural satellites which revolve around planets
No, a satellite orbits around a planet. The Pathfinder landed on Mars.

A body is being accelerated if its speed OR direction are changing.A satellite in a perfectly circular orbit around the earth ... like a TV satellite ... is moving at constant speed. But, technically, since its direction is always changing, to keep it on a circle, it's experiencing constant acceleration.
Satellite
A satellite revolves around a planet. Planets revolve around a sun.
In 2005 a satellite went into orbit around Venus.
I saw a satellite orbiting around earth.
A satellite is any object that is in orbit around another object. The moon is a natural satellite of the Earth because it orbits around the Earth.
Yes. The Earth rotates around the Sun, and therefore it is a satellite of the Sun. Anything that rotates around something else can be cositered a satellite.
Moons and planetary rings can revolve around a planet.A satellite or moon.A satellite or if it's big enough a moon
a satellite. a satellite is a natural or artificial body that revolves around a planet
