Suppose that humans have created a colony outside of our solar system on a planet called Cheops5. Cheops5 has a mass of 2.25×10^25 kg and a day that lasts 29.9 h (which defines the rotational period of the planet). The colony is located on the planet's equator. The colonists set up a communications satellite which orbits Cheops5. The satellite has a circular orbit that keeps it positioned directly above the colony. Calculate the radius ?r of the satellite's orbit in kilometers.
4. We are planning a human exploration mission to Mars. We will first place our spacecraft into a circular around Mars and then send down a lander. a) If we want the spacecraft to orbit at an altitude of 170 km above the Martian surface, what will the velocity and orbital period of the spacecraft? b) When we land astronauts on the surface of Mars, what acceleration due to gravity in terms of g's (i.e. as a fraction of the Earth's gravitational acceleration) will the astronauts experience?
