from satellite towards centre of Earth;

(ii)

tangent to circle at satellite in correct direction;

(no labels, [1 max])

direction of motion is changing / force acts on satellite;

and changing direction means changing velocity / any further detail;

work done is product of force and distance moved in direction of force;

force is always normal to direction of motion;
hence no work done;

Look for an answer on the following lines.

the direction of the car is changing;
hence the velocity of the car is changing;
or
since the direction of the car is changing;
a force must be acting on it, hence it is accelerating;

Answers will be open-ended but essentially look for a description of either

emission or absorption spectra eg
when elements in their gaseous phase (state) are excited they emit light /
discharge tubes emit light;
which has a series of well defined wavelengths;
the wavelengths are characteristic of the element;
the existence of these characteristic wavelengths support the idea of
atomic energy levels;
