What is the gravity of Mars, if the mass of the planet is 6.39x1023kg and the radius of the planet is 3397.2 km? What problems would there be on a mission to Mars?
At an altitude of 160 km above the earth's surface, a 3-kg mass is pushed vertically upward with
a velocity of 16,000 km/h. Using the radius of the earth equal to 6357 km, calculate the maximum
distance from the earth's surface reached by the mass. Present your answer in km using 4
significant figures.
One year on Mars is as long as 1.88 years on earth. How many seconds is a Martian year?
