Hold a pencil in your hand.  What is keeping it off the floor?  The force you are applying to it.  As long as you keep applying that force, the pencil will not fall to the floor.  Now, remove that force (stop accelerating the pencil) and it crashes into the floor.  That is what would happen to a satellite when it runs out of fuel.

Except they dont run on fuel.  They are given a velocity in which is to fast for the Earth to pull in.  So all the Earth can do is make them orbit.  

Thats what I was always led to believe but maybe all them scientists are wrong and just this one scientist is right?

That's the idea.

When do they stop accelerating?

Well at least the general populace of the USA would benefit from the lower acceleration.

if the earth ran out and started to fall, why would it fall, unless there was something called *dun* *Dun* *DUN* Gravity!

rite guys and girls for many years i have been trying to prove the world is flat and to put a stop to us beeing tricked all the time and our lives lead by these goons on the tv, that make up our path of life and belive the same.

my proof started with a simple but effective experiment on a road.
me and my good friend jamie took a football to an empty road and kicked the ball. after 36 seconds the ball stoped dead still, no movemnt what so ever after it landed. there wa sno indication of the ball having any force pushign it one way or the other.

if the world was round the ball beeing perfectley design to be round would roll and would not stop

please help me out to prove this is true.

thank you

Btw, engineer how high up would you say these so called stratollites are? And what fuels them? this conspiracy theory is getting more impluadable by hte second.

Earth won't fall, it'd be suspended in midair forever.
That is, if there wasn't anything such as gravity.

Weight is determined by gravity, remember?

1. Stratosphere.
2. The Sun.

So you are telling me that the sun can power a stratollite to constantly accelerate upwards at 9.81 ms^-2??  IF this were true would we not have solar powered planes?

Once the acceleration stopped, the earth would just continue on at a constant velocity.

No, stratellites are lighter than air vehicles.
