The rotation period of an earth satellite close to the surface of the earth is $83$ minutes. The time period of another earth satellite in an orbit at a distance of three earth radii from its surface will be .......... $\min$

$A$ 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 $....R_e$.

Which one of the following statements is correct?

The maximum and minimum distances of a comet from the Sun are $1.6 \times 10^{12} \ m$ and $8.0 \times 10^{10} \ m$ respectively. If the speed of the comet at the nearest point is $6 \times 10^{4} \ m/s$,the speed at the farthest point is ......... $\times 10^{3} \ m/s$.
