Where can a geostationary satellite be installed?

$A$ 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 $....R_e$.

$A$ satellite of mass $m$ is revolving around the Earth of mass $M$ in an orbit of radius $r$. The angular momentum of the satellite about the centre of the orbit will be:

Two satellites $A$ and $B$ go round a planet $P$ in circular orbits having radii $4R$ and $R$ respectively. If the speed of the satellite $A$ is $3V$,the speed of the satellite $B$ will be ........ $V$.

The mean radius of Earth is $R$,and its angular speed on its axis is $\omega$. What will be the radius of orbit of a geostationary satellite?
