Is a satellite circling the Earth above the atmosphere in free fall?
Yes it is in free fall because gravity is the only force acting on it. (no air resistance)
How does a satellite fly?
It doesn't fly, it moves in free fall. And it doesn't use wings.
What can cause satellites to fall out of the sky?
Satellites may fall out of the sky because they get too close to Earth. In that case, Earth overwhelmed the power of the satellite's propelling system and slowly but surely dragged the satellite into the Earth's atmosphere.
Why does a satellite need to be high above the earth?
If they were closer, then they could potentially fall to the ground. (WillyD)
When in orbit a satellite such as the space shuttle is either a projectile or a non-accelerated motion or free from earths gravity or an ellipse?
free from the motion of earth
What is the weight of a satellite in orbit?
Technically, a satellite in free-fall (and orbit is a special case of "free-fall") is effectively weightless. What we call weight is the force of the RESISTANCE to gravity; I "weigh" 220 pounds because I an standing on the Earth. The satellite has its own mass, and this can be anything from "tiny" to "enormous".

What happened to the satellite countries during the fall of the USSR?
They've entered the world of free trade, marketing their goods.
Give an example of an object that is in free fall?
A skydiver. The International Space Station. Any TV satellite. The Moon.
What is it called when a satellite's inertia carries it forward while gravity pulls it downward?
A term often used in this case is free fall.
What companies offer free satellite?
There are a few companies that offer free satellite. In the United Kingdom, a Sky subscription comes with a free satellite. You can also get a subscription-free service from Freesat.
Did the satellite fall yet today?
No it havent
How did the satellite fall down?
It lost its balance......
How motion of satellite similar to the motion of an object in freefall?
A satellite is in free fall. When the only force acting upon it is gravity, it reacts freely to this gravity, accelerating towards Earth. That is to say, instead of going in a straight line, the velocity vector changes direction, towards Earth. If the satellite is fast enough to be in orbit, it will never actually fall on Earth; but the velocity vector changes all the time.
Did the satellite fall yet?
the nasa satellite has fallen it is 11:51 pm and it is safe to go outside
Why does a satellite does not fdall into earth?
Because it moves fast. A satellite will, in fact, continuously "fall" (be accelerated) towards Earth, meaning that it changes its direction. Because it moves fast.
