Describe the model and theory of planetary motions presented in the earliest of times.

Kepler's third law states that the square of the period of revolution $(T)$ of a planet around the sun is proportional to the cube of the average distance $(r)$ between the sun and the planet,i.e.,$T^2 = Kr^3$,where $K$ is a constant. If the masses of the sun and the planet are $M$ and $m$ respectively,then according to Newton's law of gravitation,the force of attraction between them is $F = \frac{GMm}{r^2}$,where $G$ is the gravitational constant. The relation between $G$ and $K$ is:

The time period of a satellite of the Earth is $5$ hours. If the separation between the Earth and the satellite is increased to four times the previous value,the new time period will become ......... $hours$.

$A$ satellite is launched into a circular orbit of radius $R$ around the Earth. $A$ second satellite is launched into an orbit of radius $1.03 R$. The time period of revolution of the second satellite is larger than the first one approximately by: (in $\%$)
