Expert Solution
Step 1
  • Force on the planet is the centripetal force acting on the planets rotating in the orbit.

           Centripetal force is given by

           F=mv2r

          Where mis the mass of planet

                      v is the velocity of planet

                       r is the radius of planet

  • Kinetic energy contained by the moving planet is written as

          K.E=12mv2
