$A$ geostationary satellite is orbiting the earth at a height of $5R$ above the surface of the earth,where $R$ is the radius of the earth. The time period of another satellite in hours at a height of $2R$ from the surface of the earth is:

  • A
    $6 \sqrt{2}$
  • B
    $\frac{6}{\sqrt{2}}$
  • C
    $5$
  • D

$A$ body is moving in a low circular orbit about a planet of mass $M$ and radius $R$. The radius of the orbit can be taken to be $R$ itself. Then the ratio of the speed of this body in the orbit to the escape velocity from the planet is

Two satellites $S_{1}$ and $S_{2}$ are revolving around a planet in the opposite sense in coplanar circular concentric orbits. At time $t=0$,the satellites are farthest apart. The periods of revolution of $S_{1}$ and $S_{2}$ are $3 \,h$ and $24 \,h$,respectively. The radius of the orbit of $S_{1}$ is $3 \times 10^{4} \,km$. Then,the orbital speed of $S_{2}$ as observed from
