<h2>Answer:V=\sqrt{G\frac{M}{R}}  </h2>

The velocity of a satellite describing a circular orbit is <u>constant</u> and defined by the following expression:

V=\sqrt{G\frac{M}{R}}     (1)

Where:

G is the gravity constant

M the mass of the massive body around which the satellite is orbiting

R the radius of the orbit (measured from the center of the planet to the satellite).

Note this orbital speed, as well as orbital period, does not depend on the mass of the satellite. I<u>t depends on the mass of the massive body.</u>

In addition, this orbital speed is constant because at all times <u>both the kinetic energy and the potential remain constant</u> in a circular (closed) orbit.

Briefly describe the formation of the planets from the solar nebula
saul85 [17]
<span>The formation of the Solar System began 4.6 billion years ago with the gravitational collapse of a small part of a giant molecular cloud. Most of the collapsing mass collected in the center, forming the Sun, while the rest flattened into a proto-planetary disk out of which the planets, moons, asteroids, and other small Solar System bodies formed.

Answer:

=3.5 m/s

Explanation:

y = x tanθ - 1/2 g x² / (u²cos²θ )

y = 0.25 , x = 0.5, θ = 40°

.25 = .50 tan40 - .5 x 9.8x x²/ u²cos²40

.25 = .42 - 2.0875/u²

u = 3.5 m / s.
