Answer:
A satellite of the earth is revolving in a circular orbit with a uniform speed v. If the gravitational force suddenly disappears, the satellite will. Solution : Due to inertia of direction.
Explanation:
If gravity suddenly went away then the satellite would immediately begin to move in a perfectly straight line in a direction exactly tangent to its orbit. The velocity would not be affected.
It would not “wiggle” or “shimmy.” There would be no “residual” effects from its former orbit. If you observed the object at the moment gravity went away, you would have no way to know that it was once orbiting anything. You would see an object moving in a perfectly straight line.
It would be the same for an elliptical orbit.
