This is a free body diagram of a satellite.

The circle represents the satellite and the arrow represents the force of gravity.

Tell everyone why it will not crash into the Earth...

Because the force on the satellite is always perpendicular to its direction of travel, resulting in a circular trajectory that doesn't intersect the earth.

(For a satellite in a circular orbit; In the case of an elliptical orbit it's slightly more complicated but a similar analysis applies.)
You are in dispute with the free body diagram.

Please edit the diagram and present it as you think it should look.

I agree with the free body diagram. Where have I indicated any dispute with it?

You forgot the bit where gravity accelerates it.
I got Trolled & Shilled at the CIA Troll/Shill Society and now I feel EPIC!!!

But, as gravity is a constant downwards acceleration, any trajectory would be an inwards spiral, which would most definitely intersect the Earth.

Inertia is causing travel.
Forces cause acceleration.
Your diagram is incomplete.

Satellite has initial speed, longitudinal to trajectory.
Inertia causes it to remain constant.
If there was longitudinal force, speed would change.

Gravity causes the force you draw.
That force is transversal in any point and is curvig the trajectory.
The force is always acting towards the center of the Earth.
Relative to external frame of reference that force changes direction as satellite moves, remaining transversal.

Inertia resists the curving and creates reaction to your force.
That is the force you omitted.
That force is counteracting your force of gravity.
Resultant is zero and transversal speed remains balanced keeping the satellite at constant distance of the center of the Earth.
If satellite orbit is elliptical, it doesn't remain constant but oscillates around some average value.

Are you now little closer to understanding?

There's no force associated with the forward travel. The satellite is already moving in that direction. The diagram is correct.

A car can turn constantly left, say, and describe a circle. It doesn't necessarily spiral inwards.

A car can create friction upon the medium via which it moves, i.e. the ground.

A satellite is in vacuum, ergo no friction is possible, and nothing is preventing gravity accelerating it downwards.

Wanna try again, botty boy?

Please do not offer a false analogy of a car in comparison to a satellite.

A "circle" is not an orbit.

And a circular trajectory requires a centripetal acceleration to maintain that circular motion.
See: the Physics Classroom, Mathematics of Circular Motion which tells us that
.

But, as gravity is a constant downwards acceleration,
And circular motion needs a "constant downwards acceleration" of v2/R to maintain a circular orbit.
Hence you have shown that satellite orbits fit the physics perfectly.
This gives a bit more detail on that, the Physics Classroom, Circular Motion Principles for Satellites.

Incorrect, another acceleration can prevent gravity accelerating it downwards.

Actually saying gravity is an acceleration can be a bit misleading at times.
Newtonian gravitation states that gravitation applies a force = G.m1.m2/d2,
so another and often better way is to describe gravity = force per unit mass, in metric units that would be N/kg.

And that is consistent with what I have said all along that gravity does not force things down, but just applies a downward force.
If there are no other forces acting on the object, that downward force will accelerate the object down with an acceleration, g.

Great.

Shame gravity isn't providing that.

It's providing a constant downwards acceleration of 9.8 m/s2.

Which means that for every second a satellite is in orbit its velocity must increase by another 9.8m/s.

So you've just swapped reality for your necessary science fiction.

Not hard to see.

There are no other forces acting on a satellite.

So, the satellite is accelerating toward the center of the Earth via the force of gravity at 9.8m/s2.

Pretty damn fast for nothing else countering...

LOOOOOL
Your downward acceleration would increase forward speed ? ? ?
Give us some of that stuff you are smoking now, don't be selfish.

BTW, acceleration g decreases with altitude. 9.8 is only at 45 degrees of latitude (norht and south) at sea level.
At 400 km g is 8.681, at 4000 km is 3.711, and at 35786 km is 0.22555.

Really? But I stated that, "circular motion needs a 'constant downwards acceleration' of v2/R to maintain a circular orbit"
and you agreed that gravity is "providing a constant downwards acceleration of 9.8 m/s2"
It looks as though, according to you, these satellites orbit just fine.

And all my material came from the Physics Classroom, the very same reference that you quoted from earlier.
So please show a little consistency - you have totally lost yourself in your own twisted fabrication!

It would, but acceleration BY inertia is counteracting it, and what we have is remaining longitudinal (forward) speed.

It would, but acceleration BY inertia is counteracting it, and what we have is remaining longitudinal (forward) speed.
What other speed we have there?
Again, you label INERTIA as a force...

WTF is the matter with you?

Now you are deliberately hiding behind twisting.
Parroting same failed strategy from Papa Legba.

According to the Law of Action and Reaction, what is the reaction to gravitational force?
Have any idea?

I am not denying anything, hayseed...

The fundamental principle to be understood concerning satellites is that a satellite is a projectile. That is to say, a satellite is an object upon which the only force is gravity."

You clearly wrote that inertia is causing acceleration.

Then satellite will not fall to the ground after all?
And on circular orbit tangential speed will not change?

And circular motion needs a "constant downwards acceleration" of v2/R to maintain a circular orbit.
Great.
Shame gravity isn't providing that.
It's providing a constant downwards acceleration of 9.8 m/s2.
They seem the same to me!

They don't to me.

One is a squared velocity divided by a radius.

The other is not.

You are attempting to confuse centripetal acceleration with free fall.

It is unpleasant and dishonest.

No.

Inertia cannot cause acceleration.

Inertia not a force.

What goes up, must come down.

And faster than what utter bull cookies your "imaginary forces," dictate.
