Q. When the height of a satellite increases from the surface of the earth.

Gravitation

Solution:

As the height increases, potential energy of the satellite increases. Because PE is directly proportional to height of the body from Earth's surface. Since the total energy of the satellite is constant, KE has to decrease.
