   A satellite is revolving around the earth in a circular orbit of radius 8000 km. With what speed this satellite be  projected in the orbit ? What will be its period of revolution ? (g = 9.8 m  s - 2 , radius of the earth 6400 km). 
                                                                                 
Ans.   7.08 km  s - 1 , 118 minutes.

1/2mv^2=GMm/R+H V^2=2GMm/m(R+H) = Sqroot of 2GM/R+H = 7455.423 m/s = 7.45 km/ s
