Show that the velocity of a star orbiting its galaxy in a circular oibit is inversely proportional to the square root of its orbital radius, assuming the mass of the stars inside its orbit acts like a single mass at the center of the galaxy. You may use an equation from a previous chapter to support your conclusion, but you must justify its use and define all terms used.

thanks. Moon is at the distance 384400 km from Earth and orbits the Earth every ∼28 days. If the radius of the Moon is 1737 km (consider it to be spherical), what is the area of the moon as measured by the observer on Earth? (Hint: Length contraction)
