Acceleration occurs when there is a change in speed or direction. If it travels in a straight line, there is no speed or change in direction as it is constant througout, hence 0 acceleration.
hope this helps!! ✨
To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to Orbital Speed as a function of the universal gravitational constant, the mass of the planet and the orbital distance of the satellite. From finding the velocity it will be possible to calculate the period of the body and finally the gravitational force acting on the satellite.
PART A)
Here,
M = Mass of Earth
R = Distance from center to the satellite
Replacing with our values we have,
PART B) The period of satellite is given as,
PART C) The gravitational force on the satellite is given by,
