1.	If the Earth's satellite is put into an orbit at a height where resistance due to atmosphere, can not be neglected, how will motion of satellite be affected?
Answer» Solution :Air resistance will reduce the ORBITAL SPEED of satellite. Hence, the satellite will stars decribing spiral path of DECREASING RADIUS and ulimetely falls back to the Earth. Air resistance may also produce a lot of HEAT and the satellite may aven burn.
