How fast would a piece of rock need to be blasted outward from the surface of Mars to escape into
space as a meteoroid?
How long, deep, and wide would a terrestrial chasm have to be to have the
same proportions relative to the Earth that Valles Marineris has to Mars?
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.
