To solve the problem, we need to show how the orbital speed \( v \) and the period \( T \) of an object in a circular orbit are related to the radius \( r \) when the gravitational force is given by \( F \propto \frac{1}{r^n} \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Gravitational Force**: The gravitational force \( F_g \) acting on a satellite of mass \( m \) in a circular orbit of radius \( r \) is given by: \[ F_g = \frac{K}{r^n} ...
