A piece of rock falls vertically on a satellite then |
the satellite would fall on earth vertically downward the satellite will continue to rotate in horizontal circle of lower orbit there will be no effect on motion of satellite the satellite will fall on earth following a spiral path |
the satellite will continue to rotate in horizontal circle of lower orbit |
F = $\frac{GMm}{r}$ when mass falls on satellite, F increases. Due to increase in gravitational pull, it is drawn nearer and continues to revolve in a circle of lower radius. |
