ANSWER

[tex]M=\frac{rv^2^{}}{2G}[/tex]

EXPLANATION

Solve for the object's mass M means that we have to clear M from the equation:

[tex]v^2=\frac{2GM}{r}[/tex]

First multiply both sides by r:

[tex]\begin{gathered} rv^2=\frac{2GM}{r}\cdot r \\ rv^2=2GM \end{gathered}[/tex]

And then divide both sides by 2G:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{rv^2}{2G}=\frac{2GM}{2G} \\ \frac{rv^2}{2G}=M \end{gathered}[/tex]

So M is:

[tex]M=\frac{rv^2}{2G}[/tex]
