Explain how gravity would affect a satellite orbiting the Earth?
Gravity is the primary force that governs the motion of a satellite orbiting the Earth. It pulls the satellite towards the Earth, providing the necessary centripetal force to keep it in a curved path. The balance between this gravitational pull and the satellite's forward velocity allows it to maintain a stable orbit, preventing it from falling back to Earth while continuously moving along its orbital path. If gravity were to change significantly, it could alter the satellite's orbit, potentially leading to a collision with the Earth or escape from its orbit altogether.
Who was the astronaut who experience weightlessness while orbiting the earth?

Satellite orbiting earth at constant speed is accelerating?
Yes, a satellite orbiting Earth at a constant speed is indeed accelerating. This acceleration is due to the continuous change in direction of the satellite's velocity as it moves along its circular orbit. While the speed remains constant, the change in direction signifies that there is a net force acting on the satellite, specifically the gravitational force exerted by Earth, which keeps it in orbit. This type of acceleration, where the speed is constant but the direction changes, is known as centripetal acceleration.
What happens when any object is dropped from a satellite?
When an object is dropped from a satellite in orbit around Earth, it will continue orbiting Earth at the same speed and direction as the satellite. From the perspective of someone on the satellite, the object will appear to float next to them due to being in free fall. However, once the object encounters Earth's atmosphere, it will experience drag and eventually fall towards Earth.
What are the physics of a satellite?
The Physics of a satellite is the same as Newton's Laws for the earth. GM = rv2 = r3 w2 where M is the central mass the satellite is orbiting and r is the raadius and w the orbiting rate.
What does earth do in space?
it rotates while the moon is orbiting the earth
ARE there moon orbiting your moon?
No, there are no known moons orbiting our Moon. The Moon is Earth's only natural satellite. While some artificial satellites have been placed in orbit around the Moon by various space agencies, there are no natural moons orbiting our Moon.
What is it meant by apogee and perigee?
Both of those words refer to points in the orbit of an earth satellite ... the moon or any artificial satellite. Apogee . . . the point in the orbit where the satellite is farthest from the earth. Perigee . . . the point in the orbit where the satellite is closest to the earth.
Does a rocket have gravity while orbiting the earth?
YEs
Is there force in space?
No; gravity will continue acting on your body. If there was no force acting on your body while in space (let's say an orbiting satellite), the satellite would fly out of Earth's orbit and just wander off forever, but that doesn't happen - so gravity has to be acting on the satellite and your body as well!
