Answer:

The speed of satellite moving into circular orbit of radius 4R will become half of the speed of satellite moving into circular orbit of radius R.

Explanation:

Speed of satellite revolving around the central body in a circular path:

v=\sqrt{\frac{G\times M}{R}}

Where :

G = gravitational constant = 6.673 \times 10^{-11} Nm^2/kg^2]

M = Mass of body around which satellite is orbiting

R = radius of the orbit from the satellite

A satellite originally moves in a circular orbit of radius R around the Earth.The velocity of satellite will be ;

v=\sqrt{\frac{G\times M}{R}}..[1]

If the same satellite moves in a circular orbit of radius $R around the Earth.The speed of satellite will be :

v'=\sqrt{\frac{G\times M}{4R}}..[2]

Dividing [1] and [2]:

\frac{v}{v'}=\frac{\sqrt{\frac{G\times M}{R}}}{\sqrt{\frac{G\times M}{4R}}}

\frac{v}{v'}=2

v'=\frac{1}{2}v

The speed of satellite moving into circular orbit of radius 4R will become half of the speed of satellite moving into circular orbit of radius R.
