The following information are given in the question:
Mass, M = 8 g
Temperature, T = 20 degree Celsius
Specific heat of water [this value is a constant] C = 1 c/gc
Heat, Q = ?
The formula for calculating the amount of heat required is given below:
Q = MCT = 8 * 1 * 20 = 160
Therefore, Q = 160 cal.

Sattelites don't need any fuel to stay in orbit. The applicable law is...."objects in motion tend to stay in motion". Having reached orbital velocity, any such object is essentially "falling" around the earth. Since there is no (or at least very little) friction in the vacuum of space, the object does not slow.... It simply continues.
Sattelites in "low" earth orbit do encounter some friction from the very thin upper atmosphere, and they will eventually "decay".

Answer:
For number 2, it will be 8.
