Detailed Solution

0 work is done by a satellite revolving around the earth.
Work can be calculated by multiplying the force and the object's movement. Whenever the first two requirements are met, work is said to be done:

       The body is subject to a force.


       By exerting force either in the force's direction or in the opposite direction, the body is moved.


An orbit around the earth's surface is circular for a satellite. Since the satellite is moving in a tangential direction and the gravitational force is directed toward the centre of the earth, the angle between the two is 90 degrees. So no work is completed.
W=F s cos θ
= F s cos 90°
= F×s× 0  (as 90°=0 )
= 0
