Question

what is the work done by the force of gravity on a satellite moving round the earth ?justify your answer

Answer 1

zero.....
bcoz the angle between force of gravity

and velocity of satellite is 90 degree
as direction of velocity is particle moving in circular path is tangent to the circle at each point and force of gravity acts towards the centre of orbit

Answer 2

❤❤❤☆$\red {HELLO\:DEAR}$☆❤❤❤

❤❤❤Work is done whenever the given two conditions are satisfied:

❤❤❤

❤❤❤ (i) A force acts on the body.❤❤❤

❤❤❤(ii) There is a displacement of the body by the application of force in or opposite to the direction of force.❤❤❤

❤❤❤If the direction of force is perpendicular to displacement, then the work done is zero.❤❤❤

❤❤❤When a satellite moves around the Earth, then the direction of force of gravity on the satellite is perpendicular to its displacement.❤❤❤

❤❤❤Hence, the work done on the satellite by the Earth is zero.❤❤❤
