What are $($a$)$ the speed and $($b$)$ the period of a $340kg$ satellite in an approximately circular orbit $460km$ above the surface of Earth?

Suppose the satellite loses mechanical energy at the average rate of $1\mathrm{.}5{10}^{5}J$ per orbital revolution. Adopting the reasonable

approximation that the satellite's orbit becomes a "circle of slowly diminishing radius," determine the satellite's $($c$)$ altitude, $($d$)$ speed,

and $($e$)$ period at the end of its $1392$ th revolution. $($f$)$ What is the magnitude of the average retarding force on the satellite? Is angular

momentum around Earth's center conserved for $($g$)$ the satellite and $(h)$ the satellite$-$Earth system $($assuming that system is isolated$)?$
