- Why does a satellite in a circular orbit travel at a constant speed? There is no component of force acting along the direction of motion of the satellite. The net force acting on the satellite is zero. The gravitational force acting on the satellite is balanced by the centrifugal force acting on the satellite. There is a force acting opposite to the direction of the motion of the satellite.Find the distance of a point from the earth's center where the resultant gravitational field due to the earth and the moon is zero.
