Continuous free fall towards the body they orbit
Gravitational force
v=GMrv = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{r}}v=rGM
Higher orbits move more slowly
No effect - mass cancels out
Stays above same point on Earth's equator
Approximately 36,000 km
Less than 1,200 km above Earth's surface
Approximately 93 minutes (1.5 hours)
