Unlike the case of circular motion, the energy of a satellite in elliptical motion will change forms. As mentioned above, the force of gravity does work upon a satellite to slow it down as it moves away from the earth and to speed it up as it moves towards the earth.

Remember that a force only does work if the body the force is acting on moves in the direction of the force. For example, for a satellite going in a circular orbit around the earth, the force of gravity is constantly accelerating the body downwards, but it never gets any closer to sea level, it just swings around.

You see gravity at work any time you drop a book, step on a scale or toss a ball up into the air. ... As for the science behind the action, we know that Isaac Newton defined gravity as a force -- one that attracts all objects to all other objects. We know that Albert Einstein said gravity is a result of the curvature of...

The force of earths gravity does positive work on any satellite in a circular orbit around the earth. As a simple pendulum swings back and forth, the tension in the supporting cord does work on the pendulum. The total mechanical energy of an object is conserved if the net force on the body is zero.

The long term strategy should include the gravimetric use of advanced clocks (ground based and flying clocks), micro-satellite systems, and space-qualified quantum gravity sensors. 6; The participants of the workshop support the activities and developments towards a future satellite gravity mission.

Next, von Braun draws a picture of a satellite in Earth orbit. Acting on the satellite are two forces: gravity, pulling the satellite toward Earth, and this centrifugal force, pushing the satellite away. ... So centrifugal force is a fictitious force invoked to make Newton's laws work in a rotating frame.
