How can one make a spoon dropped from a satellite revolving around the earth land on earth?
If you have a lot of time, and a huge amount of expendable cash, you can place a reasonably massive satellite in orbit under the spoon. Over time the satellite's gravity will pull the spoon's orbit lower and lower. Eventually the spoon's orbit will decay and it will drop toward earth. Just wait. It will end up on Earth eventually. The satellite is already in orbit and will eventually fall into the atmosphere. Anything that falls off the satellite is going to eventually go 'down' to Earth.

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 is the direction of the centripetal force acting on a satellite that is in uniform circular motion around Earth?
The centripetal force acting on a satellite in uniform circular motion around Earth is directed towards the center of Earth. This force is necessary to keep the satellite moving in a circular path instead of following a straight line.
A satellite of mass 5500 kg orbits the Earth in a circular orbit of radius of 9.3 106 m this is above the Earth's atmosphereThe mass of the Earth is 6.0 1024 kg?
The gravitational force acting on the satellite is provided by the gravitational force between the satellite and the Earth, and is directed towards the center of the Earth. The gravitational force is responsible for causing the satellite to move in a circular path around the Earth. The centripetal force required to keep the satellite in its circular orbit is provided by the gravitational force between the satellite and the Earth.
Is the moon a planet or not?
No, the moon is not a planet. It is a natural satellite that orbits around the Earth.
Is the moon a planet?
No, the moon is not a planet. It is a natural satellite that orbits around the Earth.
The weight of an astronauts in an artificial satellite revolving around the earth is?

What describes a satellite which orbits a planet revolving around the sun?
A satellite is an object which orbits a larger body. For example, the Moon orbits the Earth, and the Earth orbits the Sun. The Moon is a satellite of the Earth and the Earth is a Satellite of the Sun.
How can a GPS tell you where to go?
It uses a signal from a satellite that is revolving around the Earth right now.
Why do the satellites not fall while revolving around the earth?
. The speed of the satellite is adjusted so that it falls to earth at the same rate that the curve of the earth falls away from the satellite. The satellite is perpetually falling, but it never hits the ground!
What is the path of the satellite after its launching?
it is the foot print of the Satellite on the earth while it revolving in the orbit.
What object revolves around a planet while the planets revolve around the sun?
A satellite revolves around a planet while it is revolving around around the sun (star). For example, moon (earth's natural satellite) revolves around earth while earth is revolving around the sun.
Does earth's gravity do any work on satellite revolving around it?
NO. The gravity of Earth, in conjunction with the inertia of the satellite, keeps the satellite revolving around Earth. However, the satellite doesn't get any nearer to the Earth. So, according to the laws of physics, no work is done. (I'm ignoring the fact that satellites sometimes lose height and need to be "boosted" a bit to maintain their orbits. Also, I'm assuming that the satellite's orbit is circular. If the orbit is elliptical the answer is more or less the same, but a bit more complicated.)
What does a satellite do when its in geostationary orbit?
it's hot. ;)
Does earth have one temporary and one permanent moon?
A satellite is a heavenly body/object revolving earth. Earth has one permanent 'satellite' i.e. moon. Every satellite launched by man is a temporary satellite.
Why this satellite keeps on revolving around earth?
Which satellite are you referring to ? Satellites stay in orbit because the force trying to 'throw them out into space' is counter-balanced by the gravitational pull of the earth. Those that are revolving round the planet (as opposed to geostationary ones) do so, because they were set in a side-ways motion when they were launched.
What is a satellite that orbits earth?
If by satellite you mean an object that orbits the earth, then the Moon is a satellite of the earth. There are thousands of other satellites put into orbit by both private and public organizations used for everything from GPS to communication and even you TV service.
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.
