In the Tsiolkovsky's equation, the parameter “delta v”, could I use “delta v”as “v” in the equation v=sqrt(GM/r) or are they different. For example if a satellite is in a geosynchronous orbit with a “delta v” of 2km/s, could I use the 2km/s to calculate the radius of orbit? Thanks

One way to recognize a distant planet is by studying the planets motion along its orbit. If Uranus circles the Sun in 84.0 years, how many arc seconds will it move in 1 Earth day? Assume a circular orbit for Uranus, and pretend that Earth is not moving.
Kepler’s third law says that the orbital period (in years) is proportional to the square root of the cube of the mean distance (in AU) from the Sun (Pa1.5) . For mean distances from 0.1 to 32 AU, calculate and plot a curve showing the expected Keplerian period. For each planet in our solar system, look up the mean distance from the Sun in AU and the orbital period in years and overplot these data on the theoretical Keplerian curve.
