The satellites are held in orbits:
Correct answer: B. Due to gravitational pull of Earth
- A. By rockets
- B. Due to gravitational pull of Earth
- C. Due to their high mass
- D. Due to inertia
Explanation
Satellites are the objects which are orbiting around the earth at different heights from the surface of Earth. Artificial satellites are put into their orbits by rockets and are held in orbits by the gravitational pull of the Earth.

About Simple Harmonic Motion
Simple harmonic motion is oscillation in which acceleration is directly proportional to displacement and directed toward the equilibrium position. Work includes displacement, velocity, acceleration, phase, period, frequency, amplitude and energy, with applications to springs and simple pendulums. The restoring force and the conditions for SHM distinguish it from general periodic motion.
