A satellite is revolving round the earth in circular orbit

A

will shoot forward off the satellite

B

will go to the outer space and will get lost

C

will fall to the earth below

D

will continue moving along with the satellite into the same orbit and with the same velocity

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The gravitational force acting on the package will remain same hence it will continue the same orbit.
