What is the period (in hours) of a satellite circling Mars 100 km above the planet's surface? The mass of Mars is 6.42 × 1023 kg

scZoUnD [109]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the Centrifugal Force and the Gravitational Force. Since there is balance on the body these two Forces will be equal, mathematically they can be expressed as

$F_c = F_g$

$\frac{mv^2}{r} = \frac{GmM}{r^2}$

Where,

m = Mass

G =Gravitational Universal Constant

M = Mass of the Planet

r = Distance/Radius

Re-arrange to find the velocity we have,

$v^2 = \frac{GM}{r}$

At the same time we know that the period is equivalent in terms of the linear velocity to,

$T = \frac{2\pi}{\frac{v}{r}}$

$v = \frac{2\pi r}{T}$

If our values are that the radius of mars is 3400 km and the distance above the planet is 100km more, i.e, 3500km we have,

$v^2 = \frac{GM}{r}$

$( \frac{2\pi r}{T})^2 = \frac{GM}{r}$

$T = \sqrt{\frac{4\pi^2 r^3}{GM}}$

Replacing we have,

$T = \sqrt{\frac{4\pi^2 (3500*10^3)^3}{(6.67430*10^{-11})(6.42*10^23)}}$

$T = 6285.09s (\frac{1min}{60s})(\frac{1hour}{60min})$

$T= 1.74hour$

Therefore the correct answer is C.

You want to build a search light. The search light is to have an outgoing parallel beam. You have a small, very bright light (a

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

1 m

Explanation:

Given

The mirror is a concave mirror.

Radius of curvature = 2 m

Now, for a parallel beam after reflection occurs, the object should be placed at the focus of the mirror.

We know, focal length = radius of curvature / 2

= 2 / 2

= 1

Thus the focal length is 1 m.

Hence the object should be placed at 1 m from the concave mirror for parallel beam reflection.
