What will happen if a satellite has velocity which is more than orbital vellocity but less than escape velocity?

If a satellite somehow acquires too much velocity for the orbit it's in, it moves to an orbit
for which that velocity is just right.
That's how artificial satellites are placed into the desired orbit ... engines are fired to give them
the velocity that's correct for the desired orbit, and that's where they go.

Difference between probes and satellites regarding orbital and escape velocity?
a probe need to travel escape velocity while a satellite travel orbital velocity.
What is the difference between escape velocity and orbital velocity?
Escape velocity is the velocity that an object needs in order to reach infinite distance, wherein the force will equal to zero. Orbital velocity is the velocity of an object so it can stay in orbit.
Is escape velocity bigger than orbital velocity?
Yes.
What does the term 'escape velocity' mean?
Escape velocity is what a moving body has to achieve in order not to be pulled back down to the planet. For Earth it is about 7 miles per second.
Which physicist discovered the escape velocity of an object?
Escape velocity is easily calculated from Newton's laws of motion and universal gravitation.
Difference between probes and satellites regarding orbital and escape velocity?
a probe need to travel escape velocity while a satellite travel orbital velocity.
What is the difference between a satellite and a probe with regard to orbital velocity and escape velocity?
Well, a satellite revolves about 80 times faster than the probe. The probe masters different situations which cause orbital problems. Escape velocity doesn't have the power that regards to the probe. Scientists assume that the satellite has the power, but others don't. The probe connects to orbital velocity and has the power to control it.
What is the difference between escape velocity and orbital velocity?
Escape velocity is the velocity that an object needs in order to reach infinite distance, wherein the force will equal to zero. Orbital velocity is the velocity of an object so it can stay in orbit.
The velocity a rocket must reach to establish an orbit around earth is called?
Orbital velocity, or Close orbital velocity.
Is escape velocity bigger than orbital velocity?
Yes.
How do sattalites get up in to space?
escape velocity of satellite is greater
Explain What is the Orbital Energy and what is the Escape Velocity?
Orbital energy is that amount of energy to keep a spacecraft or satellite in orbit around the earth. If the object fails to maintain this amount of energy, its orbit will get smaller and smaller until the object falls to earth. Escape velocity is that amount of speed required for an object to escape the earth's gravitational hold. Notice how you can't jump into outer space. It's because your legs can't produce enough power to achieve escape velocity.
You say that the escape velocity is the one required to escape the earth's gravitational speed then we say the satellites stay in orbits because of the earth's gravitational speed how does that ha?
Satellites are traveling at less than escape velocity. (roughly, orbital velocity is about 7 tenths of escape).
What is the escape velocity of the moon Charon?
Charon is the largest satellite of the dwarf planet Pluto and has an escape velocity of 0.36 mi/second or 1,296 miles per hour.
The speed that must be reached by a satellite or spacecraft for it to go into orbit is called?
Escape velocity
How does a rocket get out of earths orbit?
surely a rocket or artificial satellite can get out with help of escape velocity....
What is the escape velocity for satellite?
If it is close to Earth, it would need a speed of 11.2 kilometers per second to escape from Earth.
