Which statement is true about a planet’s orbital motion?

orbital motion cannot be achieved with man-made objects.

orbital motion results when the object’s forward motion is balanced by a second object’s gravitational pull.

orbital motion only occurs when forward motion exceeds the gravitational pull.

orbital motion is limited to the moons of the planets and the planets in our solar system.

Orbital motion results when the object’s forward motion is balanced by a second object’s gravitational pull.

Explanation:

The gravitational force is responsible for the orbital motion of the planet, satellite, artificial satellite, and other heavenly bodies in outer space.

When an object is applied with a velocity that is equal to the velocity of the orbit at that location, the body continues to move forward. And, this motion is balanced by the gravitational pull of the second object.

The orbiting body experience a centripetal force that is equal to the gravitational force of the second object towards the body.

The velocity of the orbit is given by the relation,

Where

                   V - velocity of the orbit at a height h from the surface

                    R - Radius of the second object

                    G - Gravitational constant

                    h - height from the surface

The body will be in orbital motion when its kinetic motion is balanced by gravitational force.

Hence, the orbital motion results when the object’s forward motion is balanced by a second object’s gravitational pull.
