The orbital radius is:
Explanation:
The problem is asking to find the radius of the orbit of a satellite around a planet, given the orbital speed of the satellite.
For a satellite in orbit around a planet, the gravitational force provides the required centripetal force to keep it in circular motion, therefore we can write:
where
G is the gravitational constant
M is the mass of the planet
m is the mass of the satellite
r is the radius of the orbit
v is the speed of the satellite
Re-arranging the equation, we find:

B) gravitational to kinetic
Explanation:
The skydiver, when he is located at a certain height h above the ground, possesses gravitational potential energy, equal to:
where m is the mass of the skydiver, g is the gravitational acceleration and h is the height above the ground. As he falls, its height h decreases, while his speed v increases, so part of the gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, which is given by
so, we see that as v increases, the kinetic energy increases. Therefore the correct answer is
B) gravitational to kinetic
