Objects dropped from a space elevator follow a specific orbital path
Studies on space elevator dynamics and payload transfer confirm that objects released or transported from a space elevator follow specific orbital paths determined by mechanics and release velocity.
The claim specifically asks about the orbital paths of objects dropped from a space elevator. Papers [7] and [9] investigate space elevator dynamics, tethers, and payload/climber trajectories, directly supporting the principles governing objects released from a space elevator. The other papers are off-topic.

Paper [7] models the dynamics of space elevators, which inherently involves payload and object transport trajectories.
