Question

Satellites in low orbits require ________ velocity than higher orbits.

Answer 1

_a greater_
Velocity is directly proportional to the Gravitational Force when the Net Centripetal Force equals the Gravitational Force. Therefore, greater gravitational force requires more velocity to keep the object in orbit.

Answer 2

greater

Step-by-step explanation:

there are two major factors that determine how a satellite maintains its travels or motion in an orbit. they are velocity ( the speed needed for the satellite to stay in the orbit) and the earth's gravitational pull. satellites in low orbits require higher velocity to resist the gravitational pull or attraction experienced from objects closer to them but satellites in higher orbits require less velocity as they wont experience as much gravitational pull.
