Chapter 14, Problem 3A
How does the direction of motion of a satellite in circular orbit compare with the curve of Earth’s surface?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
To Compare: The direction of motion of a satellite in circular orbit with the curve of Earth’s surface.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:The satellite is always directed towards the center of earth due to centripetal force which is provided by gravitation of earth
The centripetal force is the force which isprovided by earth gravitation force that is needed to keep a satellite moving in curved path and draws a perpendicular line at each point on the circumference of earth.
