1) The speed of a satellite in an orbit of radius R is determined by the following formula: v = √ (GM / R), where G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of the Earth.
2) It can be seen that the mass of the satellite is absent in this formula, which means that the speed of the satellite does not depend on its mass.
ANSWER: does not depend.
