Question
- A. space-01-mcq-04 boundary: communications satellite in geostationary orbit correctly supports (Physics only) Apply MS 1c and MS 3b when interpreting proportional relationships between orbital radius and orbital speed by using contrast, separate, misconception, not in Orbital motion, natural and artificial satellites.
- B. space-01-mcq-04 orbitrotation error: this swaps orbit with rotation and misses boundary reasoning.
- C. space-01-mcq-04 scalemix error: this mixes planet star galaxy universe scale and loses the boundary.
- D. space-01-mcq-04 evidencegap error: this gives a vague astronomy fact but omits the named evidence stage or object.
Answer
The correct option is space-01-mcq-04 boundary: communications satellite in geostationary orbit correctly supports (Physics only) Apply MS 1c and MS 3b when interpreting proportional relationships between orbital radius and orbital speed by using contrast, separate, misconception, not in Orbital motion, natural and artificial satellites.
Explanation
space-01-mcq-04 boundary: communications satellite in geostationary orbit correctly supports (Physics only) Apply MS 1c and MS 3b when interpreting proportional relationships between orbital radius and orbital speed by using contrast, separate, misconception, not in Orbital motion, natural and artificial satellites. It links communications satellite in geostationary orbit to the exact learning objective instead of drifting into a nearby astronomy idea. In orbital motion, gravity supplies the centripetal force, so the object keeps changing direction while remaining in a stable path around the body it orbits. The distractors fail through orbit-rotation confusion, scale mixing, or missing evidence. Unique focus tokens: contrast separate misconception not confuse whereas unlike comparison limit.
