← ScienceWhich phenomenon maintains geostationary satellite position using 'equivalence'?
A)Coriolis force counteracting frame rotation
B)Gravitational potential opposing orbital velocity✓
C)Doppler shift correcting transmission frequency
D)Inertial torque stabilizing antenna direction
💡 Explanation
Gravitational potential and orbital velocity counteract achieving geostationary orbit; this balance is the manifestation of 'equivalence'. The radial decrease in gravitation's potential energy releases to provide kenetic as velocity increases; therefore energy goes to faster orbit rather than falling.
