The ball dropped from an artificial satellite revolving around the Earth will continue to revolve around the Earth in its orbit with the same period of time as the satellite. Gravity keeps the ball in orbit, following the same path as the satellite, without falling to Earth or going to the Moon.

  1. The ball dropped from an artificial satellite revolving around the Earth will continue to revolve around the Earth in its orbit with the same period of time as the satellite; option [C]. This is because the ball shares the same gravitational influence and motion as the satellite. It follows the curvature of Earth’s surface, remaining in orbit without falling to Earth or being pulled towards the Moon. The gravitational force between the ball and the Earth keeps it in orbit, maintaining its trajectory around the planet. As long as the satellite remains in orbit, the ball dropped from it will also remain in orbit, moving along with the satellite at the same speed and direction. Therefore, option [C] accurately describes the behavior of the ball dropped from an artificial satellite, highlighting the continuous orbiting motion governed by gravitational forces and orbital mechanics, without being affected by other celestial bodies such as the Earth or the Moon.
