...without adjustment? This is a question I need help with in astronomy in the chapter about gravity, orbits, kepler's laws, etc.

the speed of geosynchronous satellites keep them above the same spot on the earth at all times, they are the type of satellite that is used for stationary dishes.

Because the satellites are in geosynchronous orbit. They circle the earth in the same time that the earth rotates on its axis.
