Detailed Solution

(a)  L=mvr=mGMer

Lr, , So the angular momemtum increases and becomes  2  times

(b). t2r3, so the time period increases

so the area covered by the satellite increases

(c)        U=GMmr

So, when r is doubled PE becomes half and increases

(d)  KE=GMmr

So, KE decreases and becomes half
