Yes, the satellite is accelerating because it is revolving around our earth and in a circular motion so its velocity changes every second so it is accelerating.

A2. No, the satellite is not accelerating. Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity. But, its velocity is constant. The centrifugal effect is exactly balanced by the pull of gravity (assuming a circular orbit).

But a nice question. The net acceleration between these forces is zero.

If the satellite is changing its speed or direction, then it is accelerating. If the satellite is moving at a constant velocity in a straight line, then it is not accelerating.

Draw a diagram showing the motion of a satellite around Earth is the satellite accelerating?

While I can't draw a diagram, I can describe the scenario: A satellite in orbit around Earth follows a curved path due to gravitational forces. The velocity of the satellite remains constant, but its direction is continuously changing. This change in direction indicates that the satellite is accelerating due to the centripetal acceleration required to keep it in orbit.


What is an example of Circular acceleration?

a satellite in orbit; it is moving at constant speed but is accelerating outward in circular acceleration, balanced by gravity acceleration (centripetal force).

What is station keeping of satellite?

Geostationary should resolve in geostationary orbit because its centrimeter and gravitational force in geostationary satellite.A parking slot is provided for satellite.In geostationary satellite is maintain in this orbit in its whole life and maintain satellite in geostationary orbit is called "Station Keeping"In other words, the control routine necessary to keep the satellite in positionis known as "Station Keeping".It use to overlapping of coverage area of individual satellite.
