Answer:
A. It makes astronauts weightless.
Explanation:
Gravity does not make astronauts feel weightless. Astronauts are weightless because they are orbiting at the same rate as their shuttle.
Although the force of gravity weakens as one moves away from the earth surface, it does not mean that this force is absent in orbit
- Gravitational force has a constant acceleration value near the earth surface which is commonly known to be 9.8m/s².
- It is a force of attraction tending to hold and bind bodies together so far they have mass.
- This force keeps every thing from escaping space-ward from the earth surface.
Magnitude of acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change) .
Change in speed = (ending speed) - (starting speed)
= zero - (43 m/s)
= -43 m/s .
Magnitude of acceleration = (-43 m/sec) / (0.28 sec)
= (-43 / 0.28) (m/sec) / sec
= 153.57... m/s²
= 1.5... x 10² m/s² .

Answer: 56.718 min</h2>
Explanation:
According to the Third Kepler’s Law of Planetary motion<em> </em><em>“The square of the orbital period of a planet is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis (size) of its orbit”.
</em>
In other words, this law states a relation between the orbital period
of a body (moon, planet, satellite) orbiting a greater body in space with the size
of its orbit.
This Law is originally expressed as follows:
(1)
Where;
is the Gravitational Constant and its value is
is the mass of Mars
is the semimajor axis of the orbit the spacecraft describes around Mars (assuming it is a <u>circular orbit </u>and a <u>low orbit near the surface </u>as well, the semimajor axis is equal to the radius of the orbit)
If we want to find the period, we have to express equation (1) as written below and substitute all the values:
(2)
(3)
(4)
Finally:
This is the orbital period of a spacecraft in a low orbit near the surface of mars
