A satellite is in a circular orbit around a planet.

The ratio of the satellite’s kinetic energy to its gravitational potential energy,K/Ug,is a constant whose value is independent of the masses of the satellite and planet, and of the radius and velocity of the orbit. Find the value of this constant. (Potential energy is taken to be zero at infinite separation.)
