Satellite objects are set at speed and distance that its' orbit around earth equal earth rotation. It's centripetal acceleration must be just balance with gravity of the earth or v2/r=GM/r2.

What compare the solid in liquid?

In a solid state atoms do not move much. They just vibrate in a fixed position. In a liquid state atoms move around frequently and do not stay in fixed positions.


Why are ground stations in continuous contact with satellite in geostationary orbit?

Since the satellite appears fixed in the sky, antennas can also stay in a fixed position to communicate with it, and don't need to be continuously guided.


Does a molecule stay in fixed position when heated?

When a molecule is heated, it gains kinetic energy and its atoms vibrate at a higher frequency. This increased thermal motion causes the molecule to shift position, rotate, or even break apart depending on the strength of the intermolecular forces holding it together. So, a molecule does not stay in a fixed position when heated.


What does the VOR do?

It enables aircraft with a receiving unit to determine their position and stay on course by receiving radio signals transmitted by a network of fixed ground radio beacons.

How do objects in your solar system stay in their objects?

Gravity is the force which keeps them there.


How do objects behave when placed in water?

When objects are placed in water, they can sink, float, or stay suspended depending on their density and the density of the water. Objects that are denser than water will sink, objects that are less dense will float, and objects with a similar density may stay suspended in the water.


What Objects that are at rest while objects that are moving tend to continue moving in a straight line this tendency is called?

The tendency of objects in motion to stay in motion and objects at rest to stay at rest unless acted upon by an external force is known as inertia.


What does a rock do?

Rocks sit still and stay objects.


How do people and objects stay on the Earth?

Why do objects that are at rest stay at rest?

Objects at rest stay at rest because of inertia, which is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion. Inertia causes the object to maintain its state of rest unless acted upon by an external force.


Is inertia a negative force?

More than a force, it really is the law in which objects in motion stay in motion and objects at rest stay at rest.
