Incomplete question.The complete one is here

Spacecraft have been sent to Mars in recent years. Mars is smaller than Earth and has correspondingly weaker surface gravity. On Mars, the free-fall acceleration is only 3.8m/s2. What is the orbital period of a spacecraft in a low orbit near the surface of Mars?

Answer:

T=5900s=99min

Explanation:

Given

r_{satelite}=r_{mars}=3.37*10^{6}m\\ g_{mars}=3.8m/s^{2}\\

To find

orbital period of a spacecraft T

Solution

An the initial calculating is computing the angular velocity of satellite :

w=\frac{2\pi }{T}\\ w=\frac{2\pi }{110min}(1min/60s)\\ w=9.52*10^{-4}rad/s

Computing T

T=\frac{2\pi }{w}\\ as\\w=\sqrt{\frac{a}{r} }\\ So\\T=\frac{2\pi }{\sqrt{\frac{a}{r} }} \\T=\frac{2\pi }{\sqrt{\frac{3.8m/s^{2} }{3.37*10^{6} m} }}\\T=5900s=99min
