$A$ satellite is moving in a low nearly circular orbit around the earth. Its radius is roughly equal to that of the earth's radius $R_e$. By firing rockets attached to it,its speed is instantaneously increased in the direction of its motion so that it becomes $\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}$ times larger. Due to this,the farthest distance from the centre of the earth that the satellite reaches is $R$. The value of $R$ is $....R_e$.

The periodic time of a communication satellite is ......... $hours$.

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
