Can you use radiation to generate electricity

Determine the time it takes for a satellite to orbit the earth in a circular "near-earth" orbit. the definition of "near-earth" orbit is one which is at a height above the surface of the earth which is small compared to the radius of the earth, so that you may take the acceleration due to gravity as essentially the same as that on the surface. does your result depend on the mass of the satellite?

If a 2 ounce coin is dropped from the top of the washington monument and has a final velocity of 300 mph (miles per hour) when it hits the ground, how much kinetic energy will it have at that time?
