Orbital speed of a satellite

An artificial satellite moves in a circular orbit around the earth. Total energy of the satellite is E. Then what is the potential energy of satellite

It is observed that when a satellite jumps to a lower orbit in the earth's atmosphere, it becomes hot, which indicates some dissipation of energy. But the orbital speed of the satellite increases as it approaches the earth. Why?

As the height of satellite orbit gets lower, the speed of the satellite

does speed of satellite remain constant in an orbit ? Explain.

Define orbital speed of a satellite.

Assertion : The speed of satellite always remains constant in an orbit. Reason : The speed of a satellite depends on its path.

Assertion (A) : Two artificial satellites havirig different masses and revolving around the Earth in the same circular orbit have same speed. Reason (R) : The speed of a satellite is directly proportional to the radius of its orbit.
