What is the period (in hours) of a satellite circling mars 100 km above the planet's surface? the mass of mars is 6.42 × 1023 kg, its radius is , and . a) 1.15 h b) 1.00 h c) 1.75 h d) 1.45 h e) 1.25 h

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the Centrifugal Force and the Gravitational Force. Since there is balance on the body these two Forces will be equal, mathematically they can be expressed as

Where,

m = Mass

G =Gravitational Universal Constant

M = Mass of the Planet

r = Distance/Radius

Re-arrange to find the velocity we have,

At the same time we know that the period is equivalent in terms of the linear velocity to,

If our values are that the radius of mars is 3400 km and the distance above the planet is 100km more, i.e, 3500km we have,

Replacing we have,

Therefore the correct answer is C.

answer:   you might love summer weather, but you don’t want it to feel like the sun is inside your car. but a hot car that just won’t seem to cool down might be a bigger of a problem than you think. your car relies on being at the right temperature.
