For a communications satellite in geostationary orbit, choose the strongest boundary answer about (Physics only) Explain that an object moving in a circular orbit is accelerating because its velocity is changing direction. Focus vocabulary: contrast separate misconception not confuse whereas unlike comparison limit.

  1. A.space-37-mcq-04 boundary: communications satellite in geostationary orbit correctly supports (Physics only) Explain that an object moving in a circular orbit is accelerating because its velocity is changing direction by using contrast, separate, misconception, not in Orbital motion, natural and artificial satellites.
  2. B.space-37-mcq-04 orbitrotation error: this swaps orbit with rotation and misses boundary reasoning.
  3. C.space-37-mcq-04 scalemix error: this mixes planet star galaxy universe scale and loses the boundary.
  4. D.space-37-mcq-04 evidencegap error: this gives a vague astronomy fact but omits the named evidence stage or object.
