Hence proved

Ans06.

(1) The period of revolution of a satellite around the earth should be same as
that of earth about its own axis (T=24hrs)
(2) The sense of rotation of satellite should be same as that of the earth about
its own axis i.e. from west to east in anti-clockwise direction

Ans07.

Orbital velocity of a satellite is

M = 6x1024 kg M = 400 kg
RE = 6.4x106m
Hence r = 2RE = 12.8x106m
