Satellite “X” is now rotating clockwise around the earth. At the point shown in the diagram the satellite fires a thruster that moves from the dotted line orbit to the solid line orbit. To move the satellite’s orbit from the dotted line orbit to the solid line orbit, which one of Newton's laws governs the direction that the thrusters must be fired.
