5 0

Answer:

The satellite is being accelerated towards the Earth by the gravity of the Earth, but because it's moving sideways too quickly, it keeps missing the Earth. So it keeps falling, but not getting closer. This is what it means to "orbit". In orbit you have two forces balanced, gravity and centripetal acceleration

hope it helped!
