Revise: GravitationSatellites as projectiles in free fall
Projectile motion is analysed in terms of vertical and horizontal components. The gravitational force between objects depends on their mass and the distance between their centres.
A satelliteBody that orbits a planet. For example, the Moon is a natural satellite of the Earth but communication satellites are artificial satellites of the Earth. in orbit has constant horizontal speed and falls to the Earth with acceleration due to gravity so it is also considered a projectile.
