Why do satellites in orbit fall to the ground? why dont they fly into space?

Aplayground merry-go-round has a radius of 4.6 m and a moment of inertia of 200 kg-m2 and turns with negligible friction about a vertical axle through its center. a child applies a 26.0 n force tangentially to the edge of the merry-go-round for 15.0 seconds. if the merry-go-round is initially at rest, how much work did the child do on the merry-go-round?

When electrons are added to the outermost shell of a carbon atom, it forms--an anion that has a larger anion that has a smaller cation that has a larger cation that has a smaller radius.
