Question

what force allows the satellites to orbit around the earth?
electromagnetic force
net force
centripetal force

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Satellites orbit Earth due to centripetal force. Centripetal force acts towards the center of the circular path (Earth - center for satellite orbit). Gravitational force between Earth and satellite provides this centripetal force. Electromagnetic force is related to electric and magnetic interactions (not relevant here). Net force is a general term (not specific to orbital motion).

Answer:

Centripetal force
