$A$ geostationary satellite is taken to a new orbit such that its distance from the centre of the earth is doubled. Find the time period of this satellite in the new orbit.

$A$ satellite of mass $m$ is launched vertically upwards with an initial speed $u$ from the surface of the earth. After it reaches height $R$ ($R =$ radius of the earth), it ejects a rocket of mass $\frac{m}{10}$ so that subsequently the satellite moves in a circular orbit. The kinetic energy of the rocket is ($G$ is the gravitational constant, $M$ is the mass of the earth).

In a satellite,if the time of revolution is $T$,then the kinetic energy $(K.E.)$ is proportional to:

The distances of two planets $A$ and $B$ from the sun are $r_A$ and $r_B$ respectively. Given that $r_B = 100 r_A$. If the orbital speed of planet $A$ is $v$,then the orbital speed of planet $B$ is:
