The planet Mars is orbited by two small moons, Phobos and Deimos. Both moons have circular orbits. Use Kepler's Third Law in Newtonian form to compute both the product GM(Mars), where G is Newton's constant and M(Mars) is the mass of Mars, and the mass of Mars itself from the orbital data for the two moons and Newton's constant. 2. a) Phobos: P = 0.3189 days, a = 9377 km. b) Deimos: P = 1.2624 days, a = 23,460 km. NOTE The orbital periods are in earth days; 1 day = 24 hours = 86,400 s. %3D Newton's constant is G = 6.673 x 10^(-11) m^3/kg s^2.

Part A Comets travel around the sun in elliptical orbits with large eccentricities. If a comet has speed 2.1×104 m/s when at a distance of 2.6x1011 m from the center of the sun, what is its speed when at a distance of 4.0×1010 m. Express your answer in meters per second. Πνα ΑΣΦ m/s
Kepler’s Law relates the period T ( in a sec) of a satellite to the distance from the center of the earth r (in m) to some physical constants as shown: T2 = (2π/ G ME) r3 Where G = Universal Constant of Gravitation and ME is the mass of the earth. A stationary satellite is one that circles the earth in a circular orbit but stays exactly above the same spot on the earth. Calculate the distance above the earth in m for this “geo-synchronous satellite” to orbit, then convert that height to miles.
