Yes. It is accelerated, because the velocity changes all the time: even if it moves at a constant speed, the direction changes.

Is the motion of satellite around the earth uniform or accelerated?

Accelerated because when a body changes its direction It will accelerate.


Why is motion of satellites around earth is considered an accelerated motion?

Accelerated.ALL mass in the universe is constantly being accelerated by gravitational forcesfrom every other mass in the universe. Specifically, a satellite in orbit is constantly fallingtoward the Earth under gravity - but because of the inertia of the satellite, it is continuallymissing the Earth! In the absence of gravity, the satellite would proceed in a straight linetangent to its current elliptical orbit.And now, after that refreshing interlude, here is the answer to the question:"Acceleration" does not mean "speeding up".It means that either speed or direction is changing, (or both are changing).Anything that's not moving in a straight line is in accelerated motion, becauseits direction is changing.A satellite is certainly not moving in a straight line.Therefor its motion is accelerated.


A satellite revolves around the earth with uniform speed is the motion of the satellite uniform or accelerated?

Accelerated. The concept of "uniform motion" is a mathematical abstraction, like an infinite plane. ALL mass in the universe is constantly being accelerated by gravitational forces from every other mass in the universe. Specifically, a satellite in orbit is constantly falling toward the Earth under gravity - but because of the inertia of the satellite, it is continually missing the Earth! In the absence of gravity, the satellite would proceed in a straight line tangent to its current elliptical orbit.


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?

A satellite like the space shuttle is in a state of freefall, which means that it is continuously accelerating towards Earth due to gravity, but its forward velocity keeps it in orbit, creating an elliptical path around the planet. This motion can be described as a projectile in a non-accelerated or constant velocity state within the orbital path.


Give reason why uniform circular motion is considered as accelerated motion?

Because within circular motion, acceleration is constant


Why is uniform linear motion not an accelerated motion?

Uniform linear motion is not accelerated because the speed of the object remains constant and there is no change in direction. Acceleration refers to any change in speed or direction of an object, and when there is no change in these factors, the motion is considered uniform and not accelerated.


How uniform circular motion is rewarded from accelerated motion?

The purpose and function of the word "rewarded" here are very unclear, as is the thrust of the question. Uniform circular motion IS uniformly accelerated motion, since the direction of the motion is constantly changing.


What is the difference between constant motion and accelerated motion?

Constant motion occurs when an object maintains a constant speed and direction, while accelerated motion involves a change in speed or direction, resulting in an acceleration. In constant motion, there is no change in velocity, whereas in accelerated motion, velocity changes over time.


How does the motion of the molecules change during melting?

The motion of molecules is accelerated.


How do you draw a diagram showing the motion of a satellite around earth label the forces acting on the satellite is the satellite accelerating?

You get something to draw with and something to draw on and DRAW


What is the differences between uniform motion and uniformly accelerated motion?

In uniform motion, object travel at fixed and constant speed and uniformly accelerated motion the speed of the object increases uniformly.


Why is the motion of satellite around planets considered to be an accelarated motion?

Because "acceleration" does not mean "speeding up". It means: Either the speedor the direction of the motion is changing.Anything moving in a curved path is constantly 'accelerating', even of its speed isconstant, because its direction is constantly changing.
