The orbital period $T$ of a satellite revolving at a distance $r$ from the center of the Earth is given by $T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{r^3}{GM}}$.
For a satellite revolving very close to the Earth's surface,$r \approx R_e$ (the radius of the Earth).
Substituting $GM = gR_e^2$,we get $T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{R_e^3}{gR_e^2}} = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{R_e}{g}}$.
Using $R_e \approx 6.4 \times 10^6 \ m$ and $g \approx 9.8 \ m/s^2$,we calculate:
$T = 2 \times 3.14 \times \sqrt{\frac{6.4 \times 10^6}{9.8}} \approx 6.28 \times 808 \approx 5074 \ s$.
Converting to minutes,$T \approx 84.6 \ \text{minutes}$.

What are the directions of rotation of a polar satellite and the Earth?

$A$ 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 $....R_e$.

The orbital angular momentum of a satellite is $L$,when it is revolving in a circular orbit at height $h$ from the earth's surface. If the distance of the satellite from the earth's centre is increased by eight times its initial value,then the new angular momentum will be $............\,L$.
