Yes, the satellite is accelerating because it is revolving around our earth and in a circular motion so its velocity changes every second so it is accelerating.

A2. No, the satellite is not accelerating. Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity. But, its velocity is constant. The centrifugal effect is exactly balanced by the pull of gravity (assuming a circular orbit).

But a nice question. The net acceleration between these forces is zero.

Draw a diagram showing the motion of a satellite around Earth is the satellite accelerating?

WikiAnswers cannot support diagrams - sorry. A satellite around the Earth will have an elliptical or (in some cases) a circular orbit. The satellite is constantly accelerating towards the Earth due to the gravity between the Earth and the satellite. However, because of the satellite's tangential velocity, it stays at a relatively constant distance from 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 is angle period of satellite?

The angle of the satellite period, depends on where the satellite is positioned. When you figure out where the satellite is you position the angle to be where and what you need.


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.

What is an example of Circular acceleration?

a satellite in orbit; it is moving at constant speed but is accelerating outward in circular acceleration, balanced by gravity acceleration (centripetal force).

What is station keeping of satellite?

Geostationary should resolve in geostationary orbit because its centrimeter and gravitational force in geostationary satellite.A parking slot is provided for satellite.In geostationary satellite is maintain in this orbit in its whole life and maintain satellite in geostationary orbit is called "Station Keeping"In other words, the control routine necessary to keep the satellite in positionis known as "Station Keeping".It use to overlapping of coverage area of individual satellite.
