- Please answer the equation step by step and include a proper diagram if needed. Usse gravity as 9.8m/s^2. 4. Mars and Earth, at their closest theoretical positions, are 54.6 million km apart. The mass of Earth is 5.97 x 10 kg, and the mass of Mars is 6.39 x 10ª kg. A satellite of mass 9550 kg is to be placed such that the forces of gravity between the satellite and the two planets are equal in magnitude. Determine two possible locations for this to occur.arrow_forwardthe mass of planet is 2.00 x 10 22 kg and the radius of the planet is 5.0 x 10 5 m what is the force of gravity on a 1.00 kg mass at the planets surface?

- Please answer fast Three uniform spheres of masses m1 = 2.50 kg, m2 = 4.00 kg, and m3 = 6.50 kg are placed at the corners of a right triangle (see figure below). Calculate the magnitude of the resultant gravitational force (in 10-11 N) on the object of mass m2, assuming the spheres are isolated from the rest of the Universe.arrow_forwardThis HW question has me stumped a little bitarrow_forwardA satellite of mass 200 kg is launched from a site on Earth’s equator into an orbit 200 km above the surface of Earth. a. What is the satellite’s speed before it’s launched (in m/s)? (Hopefully, it’s moving along with the surface of the Earth as the Earth rotates.) b. What is the satellite’s speed in its orbit (in m/s)? (Remember there is only onespeed a satellite can have in order to maintain a stable circular orbit with agiven radius.) c. Assuming a circular orbit, what is the orbital period of this satellite? (In other words, how long (in hours) does it take for the satellite to complete one orbit?) d. What is the minimum energy (work) necessary to place the satellite in orbit,assuming no air friction? (Remember, work is the amount of energy added tothe system, and the total energy of the system is a combination of kinetic andgravitational potential energies.)arrow_forward
