The booster motors on a satellite were used to increase its separation from the surface of the Earth by a factor of two. What happens to its orbital speed?
Remains the same
Increases by a factor of two
Increases by a factor of sqrt(2)
Decreases by a factor of sqrt(2)
Decreases by a factor of two
None of the above
I did most questions and just left out these two. hope someone can help me out. thanks. please explain the reason.
