The most common atom of iron has 26 protons and 30 neutrons in its nucleus. What are its atomic number, atomic mass, and number of electrons if it is electrically neutral? This atom has atomic number 26, atomic mass 56, and has 26 electrons.
The gravitational force between two objects is given by:

where
G is the gravitational constant
m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects
r is the separation between the two objects
The distance of the telescope from the Earth's center is

, the gravitational force is

and the mass of the Earth is

, therefore we can rearrange the previous equation to find m2, the mass of the telescope:
Answer:
K = -½U
Explanation:
From Newton's law of gravitation, the formula for gravitational potential energy is;
U = -GMm/R
Where,
G is gravitational constant
M and m are the two masses exerting the forces
R is the distance between the two objects
Now, in the question, we are given that kinetic energy is;
K = GMm/2R
Re-rranging, we have;
K = ½(GMm/R)
Comparing the equation of kinetic energy to that of potential energy, we can derive that gravitational kinetic energy can be expressed in terms of potential energy as;
K = -½U
