Explanation:
Critical velocity of the satellite is inversely proportional to the square root of the radius of its orbit. The equation does not contain the term, 'm' which shows that the critical velocity is independent of the mass of the satellite.

Answer:
The speed of a satellite in circular orbit around a planet does not depend on the mass of the satellite. ... The mass of the satellite does cancel out because it shows up both in the gravitational force and in the inertia (ma).
