Why at height the artificial sateillte not pulled toward the earth?
The satellite is being pulled by the earths gravity all of the time, but the satellite also has an orbital velocity, meaning that is is travelling at high speed. These two opposing forces balance out, the 'sideways' speed of the satellite wants to take it away into space, but the gravity of the earth is always pulling it in. The satellite maintains its speed as there there are no frictional forces to slow it down in space, so it maintains an orbit.
What is it called when a satellite's inertia carries it forward while gravity pulls it downward?
This is known as orbital motion, where a satellite's forward velocity allows it to maintain its orbit while being continuously pulled towards the center of the Earth by gravity. This delicate balance between inertia and gravity keeps the satellite in a stable path around the planet.
In which direction does gravity pull you?
Gravity acts as though you were being pulled to the center (of the earth, in my case).
What keeps astronauts from being pulled by the earths gravitational force?
Nothing keeps them from being pulled. Earth's gravity certainly pulls on them.
Why does a satellite need to be high above the earth?
A satellite needs to be high above the Earth in order to achieve a stable orbit where it can continuously circle the planet without being pulled down by gravity. Being at a higher altitude allows the satellite to have a wider field of view, better communication coverage, and longer orbital duration.
Why don't satellites get pulled towards the Earth's surface?
Satellites remain in orbit around the Earth due to a balance between the gravitational pull of the Earth and the satellite's velocity. The satellite's forward velocity allows it to continue moving tangentially to the Earth's surface, preventing it from being pulled towards the surface. This balance enables satellites to maintain their orbit without falling back to Earth.
What keeps the planets from being pulled to the sun surface by gravity?
The orbital speed of the planets prevent this. The planet's ARE all failing towards the Sun but their horizontal speed means they always miss.

If a satellite is travelling in orbit around the earth and the gravitational force drops to nil what will happen to the satellite?
Without gravity, the satellite will travel in the same direction it was going when gravity went to nil. This is due to the object's momentum, and the satellite will go off into space. And if the gravitation were nil to begin with, there would have been no orbit in the first place. The question is problematic, since planets will always have gravity. Picture a ball on a string that is being whirled around by someone. If the string snaps, the ball continues to move in the direction it was going at the moment the string snapped. It flies off in a tangent, and the satellite will do the same thing if gravity is suddenly reduced to zero.
What force happens when you're falling in a roller coaster?
I believe your answer would be gravity. You are always being pulled by the Earths gravitational force, and it is what keeps your feet on the ground, and fall down if you are not conected to something.
What would happen if their is no gravity?
If there was no gravity your eyes might have the chance of your being pulled out of your head if not the proper gear is with you also would be lifted from the ground because you will not have the gravity to hold you down
What force pulls an object down a slide?
when you're going on a slide you are being pulled toward the ground so it would be gravity.
