Once a satelite has entered a stable orbit round earth why does it not need fuel?

Physics

For the same reason that the Earth doesn't need any fuel to keep
orbiting the sun, and the moon doesn't need any fuel to keep
orbiting the Earth..

Here's something to think about:  A satellite in a perfectly circular
orbit always stays at the same distance from the Earth, so it never
moves in the direction of the gravitational force.  The work that
gravity does on it is (force) x (distance) = zero, so the satellite's
energy never changes.

On a perfect fall day, you are hovering at low altitude in a hot-air balloon, accelerated neither upward nor downward. The total
Stella [2.4K]

Explanation:

Since the balloon is not accelerating means that the net force on the balloon is zero. This implies that the weight of balloon must be equal to the buoyant force on balloon.

Hence, the buoyant force equals the weight of air displaced by the balloon, also 20,000 N.

Weight of the air displaced = density of air × volume

The density of air at 1 atm pressure and 20º C is 1.2 kg/m³  

the volume V = 20,000/(1.2×9.8) =  1700 m³
