a-satellite-orbits-around-earth-in-a-circular-path-at-a-high-altitude-explain-why-the-gravitational-

A satellite orbits around Earth in a circular path at a high altitude. Explain why the gravitational force does zero work on the satellite.

Why does the force of gravity change the speed of a satellite in an elliptical orbit? The force of gravity is always perpendicular to the satellite motion. Gravity slows the satellite as it moves away and speeds it up on its return. Gravity speeds up the satellite as it moves away and slows it on its return. The force of gravity is always tangent to the satellite motion.

00:01 Now, in this problem, we can consider the gravitational force acting on the satellite is given by newton's law of gravitation.
00:27 Hence we could write force is equivalent to g times m1 m2 divided by r square, where g is equivalent to gravitational constant, m1 and m2 is equivalent to the mass of the earth and the satellite, while r is the distance between the centers.
01:12 Next, we can say that the gravitational field at the location of the satellite is defined as the force per its unit mass, which is g is equivalent to f divided by m2, where m2 is the mass of the satellite.
01:50 So, we could write this as g m1 divided by r square.
01:55 Next, satellite's acceleration is determined by newton's second law as equivalent to m2 a, so where a is nothing but the acceleration of the satellite.
02:30 Now we can solve for the acceleration of the satellite and say that a is ratio of force upon the mass, which is m2...
