[amp_mcq option1=”Go on the Sun” option2=”Go on the Moon” option3=”Fall on the Earth” option4=”Revolve round the Earth in the same orbit with the same time period as satellite” correct=”option3″]<\/p>\n
The correct answer is (c).<\/p>\n
A ball thrown outside from an artificial satellite revolving round the Earth will fall on the Earth. This is because the ball is no longer in orbit around the Earth and is therefore subject to the Earth’s gravity. The ball will accelerate towards the Earth and eventually hit the surface.<\/p>\n
Option (a) is incorrect because the ball is not moving fast enough to escape the Earth’s gravity.<\/p>\n
Option (b) is incorrect because the ball is not moving in the right direction to reach the Moon.<\/p>\n
Option (d) is incorrect because the ball is no longer in orbit around the Earth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
