Work done by gravitational force on an artificial satellite moving around the earth in circular orbit is zero.

Assertion: The artifical satellite does not have any fuel but even then it remains orbiting around the earth. Reason: The necessary centripetal force required to move the satellite in an ·orbit around the earth is provided by the gravitational force of attraction between the satellite and the earth.

The maximum possible velocity of a satellite orbiting round the earth in a stable orbit is

The ratio of binding energy of a satellite at rest on earth's surface to the binding energy of a satellite of same mass revolving around of the earth at a height h above the earth's surface is (R = radius of the earth).

The gravitational force due to the earth also acts on the moon because of which it revolves around the earth. Similar situation exists for the artificial satellites orbiting the earth. The moon and the artificial satellites orbit the earth. The earth attracts them towards itself but unlike the falling apple,they do not fall on the earth, why?
