    Key Questions:

    1. (Physics only) What allows the planets and satellites to maintain their circular orbits?
      • (Physics only) Gravity provides the Force that allows planets and satellites (both natural and artificial) to maintain their circular orbits.
    2. (Physics only) (HT only) What effect does gravity have on circular orbits?
      • (Physics only) (HT only) Gravity can lead to a change in velocity but unchanged speed.
    3. (Physics only) (HT only) What must happen to the radius of an orbit if the speed increases?
      • (Physics only) (HT only) If the speed increases then the radius of the orbit decreases.
