The gravitational potential energy required to raise a satellite of mass $m$ to a height $h$ above the Earth's surface is $E_1$. Let the energy required to put this satellite into orbit at the same height be $E_2$. If $M$ and $R$ are the mass and radius of the Earth respectively,then the ratio $E_1: E_2$ is:

$A$ satellite is launched into a circular orbit of radius $R$ around the earth. $A$ second satellite is launched into an orbit of radius $(1.01)R$. The period of the second satellite is larger than that of the first one by approximately ........... $\%$

The orbital angular momentum of a satellite is $L$,when it is revolving in a circular orbit at height $h$ from the earth's surface. If the distance of the satellite from the earth's centre is increased by eight times its initial value,then the new angular momentum will be $............\,L$.

If the Earth is considered a point mass of $6 \times 10^{24} \ kg$ revolving around the Sun at a distance of $1.5 \times 10^8 \ km$ in a period of $T = 3.14 \times 10^7 \ s$,then the angular momentum of the Earth around the Sun will be:

Assuming that the earth is revolving around the sun in a circular orbit of radius $R$,the angular momentum is directly proportional to $R^{n}$. The value of $n$ is
