Re: low of motions
Hi Abhishek,
Welcome to the forum.
First of all, we are here primarily to help K-12 students with science fair projects. This sounds a lot like a homework problem.
That said, my guess is that you are expected to justify your answer with a discussion of frames of reference. You may also find the concept of geosynchronous orbits interesting.
