The radius of the orbit of a geostationary satellite is (mean radius of earth is $R$,angular velocity about own axis is $\omega$,and acceleration due to gravity on earth's surface is $g$).

Two satellites $S_{1}$ and $S_{2}$ are revolving in circular orbits around a planet with radii $R_{1} = 3200 \, km$ and $R_{2} = 800 \, km$ respectively. The ratio of the speed of satellite $S_{1}$ to the speed of satellite $S_{2}$ in their respective orbits is $\frac{1}{x}$,where $x =$

If the gravitational force between two objects were proportional to $\frac{1}{R}$ (and not as $\frac{1}{R^2}$) where $R$ is the separation between them,then a particle in a circular orbit under such a force would have its orbital speed $v$ proportional to

$A$ satellite of mass $m$ is circulating around the Earth with constant angular velocity. If the radius of the orbit is $R_0$ and the mass of the Earth is $M$,the angular momentum about the centre of the Earth is:

On a hypothetical planet,a satellite can only revolve in quantized energy levels,i.e.,the magnitude of the energy of a satellite is an integer multiple of a fixed energy. If two successive orbits have radii $R$ and $\frac{3R}{2}$,what could be the maximum radius of the satellite (in $R$)?
