Question

An astronaut, while revolving in a circular orbit happens to throw a spoon outside. What will happen to the spoon?

(a) It will reach the earth surface

(b) It will escape the universe

(c) It will remain stationary

(d) It will continue to move in a circular orbit

Answer 1

The correct option is (d) It will continue to move in a circular orbit

For explanation I would say: While revolving in a circular orbit, if a spoon is thrown outside, the spoon will continue to rotate in the same circular orbit, and chase the astronaut. It will never reach the surface of the earth.
