The constant G, called the gravitational constant, is a
proportionality constant necessary to relate the masses,
measured in kilograms, to the force, measured in newtons. In
the SI system of units, G has the value 6.67 × 10−11 N m2/kg2.

We know that for a satellite in a circular orbit, its speed is
related to the size of its orbit by v2 = GM/r. The satellite’s
kinetic energy is thus

But −GMm/r is the potential energy, Ug, so
If K and U do not have this relationship, then the trajectory
will be elliptical rather than circular. So, the mechanical
energy of a satellite in a circular orbit is always:

A planet has 4 times the mass of the
earth, but the acceleration due to gravity
on the planet’s surface is the same as on
the earth’s surface. The planet’s radius is
