A satellite is revolving around earth in a circular orbit. At some instant the speed of the satellite is increased sqrt(2) times its orbital speed keeping its direction unchanged. Then, the new path of the satellite is :

Two satellites A and B of the same mass are revolving around the earth in the concentric circular orbits such that the distance of satellite B from the centre of the earth is thrice as compared to the distance of the satellite A from the centre of the earth. The ratio of the centripetal force acting on B as compared to that on A is
