A satellite of the earth is revolving in a circular orbit with a uniform speed v. If gravitational force suddenly disappears, the satellite will: A. continue to move with the speed v along the original orbit B. move with the velocity v tangentially to the original orbit C. fall downward with increasing velocity D. ultimately come to rest somewhere on the original orbit
