Does the force of gravity do work on a satellite when it is in motion?
No, the force of gravity does not do work on a satellite when it is in motion because the direction of the force is perpendicular to the direction of motion.
What force is acting on a satellite?
The main force acting on a satellite is the gravitational force from the planet or celestial body it is orbiting. This force keeps the satellite in orbit and prevents it from flying off into space. Other forces, such as atmospheric drag or solar radiation pressure, can also affect a satellite's motion.
What is the name of the force that keeps an object in motion stay in motion?
The force that keeps an object in motion stay in motion is called inertia. Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its velocity.
What keeps the satellite in orbit Centripetal or electrical?
Centripetal force is what keeps a satellite in orbit around a celestial body, like Earth. This force is due to the gravitational attraction between the satellite and the celestial body. Electrical forces play a role in satellite communication and operation, but they are not directly responsible for keeping the satellite in orbit.
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.
Does the force of gravity do work on a satellite when it is in motion?
No, the force of gravity does not do work on a satellite when it is in motion because the direction of the force is perpendicular to the direction of motion.

What is the force which keeps the satellite in orbit round the earth?
gravity
Which force keeps a satellite in orbit?
The mutual gravitational attraction between the satellite's mass and the earth's mass. Short answer: The force of gravity.
What causes stability of satellite in space?
the gravitational force of earth keeps the satellite(better write artificial satellite)in orbit.
What force keeps satellite in orbit around the Earth?
There is only one main force acting on a satellite when it is in orbit, and that is the gravitational force.
When satellite companies send their satellites into space what force keeps them from flying away?
gravitational force
What keeps the satellite in orbit Centripetal or electrical?
Centripetal force is what keeps a satellite in orbit around a celestial body, like Earth. This force is due to the gravitational attraction between the satellite and the celestial body. Electrical forces play a role in satellite communication and operation, but they are not directly responsible for keeping the satellite in orbit.
What keeps an object in centripetal motion?
The centripetal force
Why the weight of a satellite and the centripetal force keeping the satellite in orbit is not a valid example of action and reaction to which Newton's Third Law of Motion applies?
First, Newton's Third Law of Motion says that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.In this scenario, the Earth pulls the satellite. The equal and opposite reaction force would be the pull of the satellite on the Earth, not the centripetal force.The Centripetal force is the RESULTANT force on the satellite that accelerates it(although its speed does not change, velocity changes because the satellite changes direction constantly- it moves in a circular path. And for velocity to change, there must be a net force acting on the satellite), and keeps it in orbit. Please post on my message board if you have any other specific questions.
What change happens to the motion of a satellite because the force is unbalanced?
