A)At what altitude would a geostationary sattelite need to be above the surface of Mars? Assume the mass of Mars is 6.39 x 1023 kg, the length of a martian solar day is 24 hours 39minutes 35seconds, the length of the sidereal day is 24hours 37minutes 22seconds, and the equatorial radius is 3396 km. The answer can be calculated using Newton's verison of Kepler's third law.

Comet Halley has a semi-major axis of 17.7 AU. (The AU, or Astronomical Unit, is the distance from the Sun to the Earth. 1 AU = 1.50x1011 m.) The eccentricity of Comet Halley is 0.967. a. How far is Comet Halley from the sun at Aphelion, the farthest position from the sun? (Give your answer in AU.)? b. What is comet Halley's orbital time? (Give your answer in years.) Note: Using Kepler's third law in the form: P2 = a3 is convenient. This equation works for any object orbiting the sun when the orbital period is in years and the semi major axis is in AU. The reason this works is because this equation is normalized to earth. The AU and year are both 1 for Earth. c. In what year will Comet Halley start to move back toward the sun?
