How can you find the speed of Mercury orbiting the sun given the Orbital Radius (from Sun) is 57.9 x 10^9 m, and the mass of Mercury is 3.307 x 10^23 kg.
The mass of the Sun is 2.000 x 10^30 kg if you need it.

If possible, please show how you get to your answer with step by step instructions.
Thanks in Advance!
