Question

5 true or false 1 point the acceleration of an orbiting satellite is equal to the acceleration of gravity at that particular location true false

Explanation:

For an orbiting satellite, the only force acting on it is the gravitational force. According to Newton's second law \(F = ma\), where \(F\) is the gravitational force \(F = mg\) ( \(g\) is the acceleration due to gravity at that location) and \(a\) is the acceleration of the satellite. So \(mg=ma\), which implies \(a = g\).

Answer:

True
