A satellite is revolving round the earth in circular orbit

A satellite is revolving near by earth of radius =R_e . If its velocity is increased sqrt(3/2)v where v is the orbital speed of satellite then find maximum distance of satellite from the center of the earth.

If a satellite is orbiting the earth very close to its surface, then the orbital velocity mainly depends on

A satellite is revolving very close to the earth surface in a circular orbit has potential energy U. Find the change in its mechanical energy if it is made to move away from earth such that its velocity becomes half while going around the earth in a larger circular orbit.

A satellite is revolving around the earth. Ratio of its orbital speed and escape speed will be.

if a satellite orbits as close to the earth's surface as possible.

Statement I: For a satellite revolving very near to the earth's surface the time period of revolution is given by 1 h 24 min. Statement II: The period of revolution of a satellite depends only upon its height above the earth's surface.

For a satellite orbiting very close to earth's surface, total energy is
