We would like to start our answer by saying that we're sure you realize that this could never happen. The Earth has mass, just like every other solid object does (including you). It is the Earth's mass that causes it to have gravity, and so in order to not have gravity the Earth would have to not have mass. But if the Earth didn't have mass, it wouldn't be there anymore!

Having said that, though, let's now imagine that we could magically turn off the gravity while leaving the Earth behind. What would happen to the things on Earth depends on how they are attached. As you know, the Earth is rotating at quite a speed (you're moving at over a thousand miles per hour at the equator due to the Earth's rotation alone). Now if you spin something around your head on a string, it goes around in a circle until you let go of the string. Then it flies off in a straight line. If the circle is very big, then at first the straight line is almost the same as the circle -- however, after a short amount of time, the two paths will be very different, since the circle bends around but the straight line does not.

no it wont.
rather it revolves around the earth with its orbital velocity as its velocity and continues to move in the same orbit.
 the same case is observed when a nail gets detached from the satellite it revolves in its own orbit with its orbital velocity so we could think the satellite as the nail and thus the answer is explained



hope this helps.
