- Satellite in Orbit 12 3? 5 6 Scientists want to place a 4100 kg satellite in orbit around Mars. They plan to have the satellite orbit a distance equal to 1.5 times the radius of Mars above the surface of the planet. Here is some information that will help solve this problem: mmars = 6.4191 x 1023 kg "mars = 3.397 x 106 m G = 6.67428 x 10-11 N-m?/kg? 1) What is the force of attraction between Mars and the satellite? Submit + 2) What speed should the satellite have to be in a perfectly circular orbit? m/s Submit 3) How much time does it take the satellite to complete one revolution? hrs Submit 4) Which of the following quantities would change the speed the satellite needs to orbit at? O the mass of the satellite O the mass of the planet O the radius of the orbit Submit 5) What should the radius of the orbit be (measured from the center of Mars), if we want the satellite to take 8 times longer to complete one full revolution of its orbit? m Submitarrow_forwardThe escape velocity on the surface of the Moon is 2.4 Km/sec, and the radius of the Moon is 0.27 Earth's radius.

- Calculate the difference between the acceleration due to Earth's gravity at Moon's center and the acceleration on Moon's surface at the point closest to the planet.arrow_forwardorbit of Jupiter orbit of Earth Hohmann ellipse NASA would send a satellite to the planet Jupiter. To use the least fuel, the satellite would travel on a "Hohmann ellipse" with perihelion at TE and aphelion at rj - as shown in the figure; the semimajor axis is a=(re+rJ)/2. How many days would it take the satellite to travel from Earth to Jupiter? DATA: TE = 1 AU ; rj = 5.2 AU ; The astronomical unit (AU) is a unit of length relevant to the Solar System. 1 AU = the mean distance from the sun to Earth. 1 AU = 1.496 × 10¹¹ meters. {time to go from Earth to Jupiter =} (in day) A: 996.8 OB: 1445.3 OC: 2095.7 OD: 3038.8 OE: 4406.3 OF: 6389.1 OG: 9264.3 OH: 13433.2arrow_forward4.
