Question 13 Marks
Work done on an artificial satellite by gravity is zero while moving around the earth.
Answer
  • When the artificial satellite moves around the earth in a circular orbit, gravitation force acts on it.
  • The gravitational force acting on the satellite and its displacement are perpendicular to each other. i.e. 0 = 90°
  • For 0 = 90°, work done is zero. [ v cos 90 = 0)
  • Hence, work done on an artificial satellite by gravity is zero while moving around the earth.
