A satellite orbits Earth at a constant altitude and speed. There are no physical connections, such as cables, between Earth, and the satellite. Why does it follow a
circular path?
OA. the satellite cannot escape Earth's atmosphere
OB. Earth's magnetic field attracts the satellite and keeps it in orbit
OC. directional rocket boosters constantly turn the satellite into its curved path
COD. gravity between Earth and the satellite exerts a force perpendicular to the satellite's velocity
