Why is the north star is the only star in the night sky that seems to stay still?
Because it's in line with the Earth's north and south poles, so as we sit watching from our rotating Earth its direction does not alter. Imagine sitting on a swing as it goes round. If you look at the centre, its direction stays fixed, as the rest of your surroundings appear to rotate.

What is no net force between object and its surroundings?

What is expected to happen to satellites once their power is used up?
An artificial satellite's power is for its radio, not to maintain its orbit. Vanguard, the Navy satellite, ran out of power decades ago, but it had such a good orbit, it's still out there. Someday somebody will find it again, whirling around the Earth in silence.
