The motion of a geostationary satellite around the planet:

Jumping on surface of earth vs moon:
One can jump higher on surface of the moon due to lower gravity of the moon as compared to that of the Earth. Therefore, the mass of the person remains the same but the weight changes on moon as compared to that on earth.
4
To visualize the effect on the weight and the ability to jump on other huge planets:
5
Kepler's first law or law of orbits:
6
Kepler's second law or law of area:
The planet swipes equal area in equal intervals of time around the sun i.e. the areal velocity of the planet around the sun remains constant.

Demonstration of the escape velocity and other velocities lesser that its value:
