The distances of two planets $A$ and $B$ from the sun are $r_A$ and $r_B$ respectively, such that $r_B = 100 r_A$. The ratio of the orbital speed of planet $A$ to that of planet $B$ is (both planets are revolving around the sun in circular orbits).

What is the time period of a satellite orbiting at a height $R$ above the Earth's surface?

The distance between two stars of masses $3 M_S$ and $6 M_S$ is $9 R$. Here $R$ is the mean distance between the centers of the Earth and the Sun,and $M_S$ is the mass of the Sun. The two stars orbit around their common center of mass in circular orbits with period $n T$,where $T$ is the period of Earth's revolution around the Sun. The value of $n$ is. . . . .

$A$ satellite of mass $M$ is in a circular orbit of radius $R$ about the center of the Earth. $A$ meteorite of the same mass $M$,falling towards the Earth,collides with the satellite completely inelastically. The speeds of the satellite and the meteorite are the same,just before the collision. The subsequent motion of the combined body will be:
