Two planets,$A$ and $B$,orbit around a star such that the time period of $A$ is $8$ times the time period of $B$. The ratio of the orbital velocities of planets $A$ and $B$ is:

Two satellites are launched at a distance $R$ from a planet of negligible radius. Both satellites are launched in the tangential direction. The first satellite launches correctly at a speed $v_0$ and enters a circular orbit. The second satellite,however,is launched at a speed $\frac{1}{2}v_0$. What is the minimum distance between the second satellite and the planet over the course of its orbit?
