Why Do Artificially Launched Satellite Lose Height With Time ?

Answer»

Due to air friction, the satellite loses, a part of its TOTAL energy and the satellite COMES closer to earth’s surface. Thus it loses height. When they enter into denser REGION of the earth’s atmosphere, theheat generated causes them to BURN out.

Why Is Gravitational Force The Most Important Force ? Is It A Strong Force Or Weak Force ?

Answer»

GRAVITATIONAL is one of the four fundamental FORCES of nature. This effect our actions in EVERY day life such as walking, jumping, throwing a ball and so on. Also it is responsible for a initiating the birth of stars, for controlling the entire structure of the universe and evolution of the universe. Thus we FIND that gravitational force is the most important force. In FACT it is the weakest force among the four fundamental forces of nature.
