Question

What is the orbital velocity of Miranda around Uranus? (Hint: Use the formula for circular orbit velocity: , where . The formula requires input quantities in and . The mass of Uranus is ; the distance from Miranda to Uranus is .)

Answer 1

The orbita velocity of miranda around uranus is V = 6.66 km/s

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for circular orbit velocity is V = Sqrt(GMR)

The mass of uranus = 8.681 × 10^25 kg

The distance from miranda to uranus = 129,390 km

G = 6.674×10−11 m3⋅kg−1⋅s−2

Inserting the parameters above into the equation V = Sqrt(GMR)

V = 6.66 km/s
