Question:
Consider a satellite in a circular orbit above Earth’s surface. In Chapter 4 we will learn that the force of gravity changes the direction of motion of a satellite (and keeps it in a circle) but does NOT change its speed. Work done on the satellite by the gravitational force is zero. What is your explanation?

In Physics, a force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. In this video, the concept of force and torque is demonstrated with the practical application of changing the flat tire of the car.
