horizontal velocity of a satellite is equal to critical velocity then the satellite will revolve a circular path around the earth in that condition how we know that whether the satellite is revolving around the Earth or earth is revolving around the satellite the both are in the opposite frame of reference?..
Answers
Answer:the sattelite will revolve around the earth.
Explanation:because sattelite is much smaller in size and even in mass.Sattelites do not have any gravitational pull to produce a centrepetal force to make the earth revolve around it.So,the earth has a very strong gravitational pull that it can make centrepetal force and make nearer objects revolve around it.But the gravitational force of earth cannot make very far objects to revolve around it because the gravitational pull of earth also has a limit of distance like the earth cannot make a far planet to revolve around it like the Jupiter and Mars.But it can make nearer objects like sattelite and even the moon to revolve around it.
Answer:
if the horizontal velocity is exactly equal to the surgical velocity the path of the satellite is
