Why does a satellite not have an escape velocity?

If the mass of a satellite is doubled and the time period remains constant,the ratio of the orbital radii in the two cases will be:

Imagine a light planet revolving around a very massive star in a circular orbit of radius $R$ with a period of revolution $T$. If the gravitational force of attraction between the planet and the star is proportional to $R^{-5/2}$,then ${T^2}$ is proportional to:

Two small,equal masses are attached by a light rod. This object orbits a planet; the length of the rod is smaller than the radius of the orbit,but not negligible. The rod rotates about its axis in such a way that it remains vertical with respect to the planet. Determine the state of the rod (tension or compression) and the stability of the equilibrium with respect to a small angular perturbation.

Two satellites $A$ and $B$ of same mass are moving around a planet at an altitude of $3R$ and $5R$ respectively. Select the correct statement.
