Scientists want to place a 3900 kg satellite in orbit around Mars. They plan to have the satellite orbit a distance equal to 2.1 times the radius of Mars above the surface of the planet. Here is some information that will help solve this problem: mmars = 6.4191 x 1023 kg Imars = 3.397 x 106 m G = 6.67428 x 10-11 N-m²/kg? 1) What is the force of attraction between Mars and the satellite? 1507 Submit + 2) What speed should the satellite have to be in a perfectly circular orbit? m/s Submit 3) How much time does it take the satellite to complete one revolution? hrs Submit + 4) Which of the following quantities would change the speed the satellite needs to orbit at? the mass of the satellite othe mass of the planet g the radius of the orbit Submit 5) What should the radius of the orbit be (measured from the center of Mars), if we want the satellite to take 8 times longer to complete one full revolution of its orbit? m Submit
Gravitational force
In nature, every object is attracted by every other object. This phenomenon is called gravity. The force associated with gravity is called gravitational force. The gravitational force is the weakest force that exists in nature. The gravitational force is always attractive.
Acceleration Due to Gravity
In fundamental physics, gravity or gravitational force is the universal attractive force acting between all the matters that exist or exhibit. It is the weakest known force. Therefore no internal changes in an object occurs due to this force. On the other hand, it has control over the trajectories of bodies in the solar system and in the universe due to its vast scope and universal action. The free fall of objects on Earth and the motions of celestial bodies, according to Newton, are both determined by the same force. It was Newton who put forward that the moon is held by a strong attractive force exerted by the Earth which makes it revolve in a straight line. He was sure that this force is similar to the downward force which Earth exerts on all the objects on it.
