Mars, which has a radius of 3.4 × 106 m and a mass of 6.4 × 1023 kg, orbits the Sun, which has a mass of 2.0 × 1030 kg at a dist

ance of 2.3 × 1011 m. Which is greater, the tangential speed of Mars’s rotation or revolution?

The correct answer is: Revolution (The tangential speed of Mars' revolution is greater than that of Mars' rotation).

Explanation:

Given data:

Radius-of-Mars = r =  3.4 * 10^6 m

Distance-between-Sun-and-Mars = d = 2.3 * 10^{11} m


Now let us first calculate the Mars' rotation:

One complete rotation of Mars = 2πr = 2π(3.4*10^6) = 21.36 * 10^6 m

Tangential speed of Mars' rotation (by taking 24hours 37 minutes in seconds (88620s)—as Mars takes that many seconds to complete one rotation) = \frac{21.36 * 10^6m}{88620} = 241.02 \frac{m}{s}


Now let's calculate the Mars' revolution (around Sun):

One complete revolution of Mars around Sun = 2πd = 2π(2.3 * 10^{11}) = 1.45 * 10^{12} m

Tangential speed of Mars' revolution (by taking 687 days in seconds (59356800s)—since Mars takes 687days to complete one revolution)= \frac{1.45 * 10^{12}m}{59356800s} = 24.42 * 10^{3}\frac{m}{s}


So we can see that the tagential speed of:

Revolution > Rotation

24.42 * 10^{3}\frac{m}{s} > 241.02\frac{m}{s}


Hence, the correct answer is Revolution.
