  2. False

hintHint:

The centrifugal force is a fictitious force.

The correct answer is 'True'.


    The centrifugal force is a fictitious force. This force is assumed by an observer moving along the body in a circular motion to act in the direction away from the centre of circular path.
    If this force is removed then satellite will not move in circular path
    Hence it is False
