Question 118

A satellite travels at a constant speed in a circular orbit around the Earth. Which statement about the net force acting on the satellite and its velocity is correct?

A

The net force is zero because the speed is constant.

B

The net force is directed towards the center of the Earth, and its velocity is constant.

C

The net force is directed towards the center of the Earth, and its velocity is continuously changing.

D

The net force is directed parallel to the velocity vector, and its velocity is continuously changing.
