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.

What is pressure and how it is calculated ?​
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

Pressure is defined as the force divided by the area perpendicular to the force over which the force is applied, or. P=FA. A given force can have a significantly different effect depending on the area over which the force is exerted Pressure the effect of a force applied to a surface is a derived unit, obtained from combining base units. The unit of pressure in the SI system is the pascal (Pa), defined as a force of one Newton per square meter. The conversion between atm, Pa, and torr is as follows: 1 atm = 101325 Pa = 760 torr.

Explanation:

Pressure and force are related, and so you can calculate one if you know the other by using the physics equation, P = F/A. Because pressure is force divided by area, its meter-kilogram-second (MKS) units are newtons per square meter, or N/m2. If you convert an atmosphere to pounds per square inch, it's about 14.7 psi.

If you run at 1.7 m/s FORWARD ,how does this affect the speed of a ball that you throw?
Sever21 [200]

We have a problem about conservation and velocity, we will find that it does affect the speed of the ball, increasing it by 1.7m/s.

There is something called momentum, which we can define as the "quantity of movement", and we can simply write as the product between velocity and mass.

The momentum is conservative, then we have conservation of momentum.

This means that when you run whit the ball in your hands, the momentum of the ball will be equal to your velocity times the mass of the ball, and this must conserve after you throw the ball.

Now with this idea in mind, this means that if you run with a velocity V, and you throw the ball with a velocity V', the velocity of the ball when it leaves your hand will be:

V + V'.

So, if you run with a velocity of 1.7m/s forward and you throw the ball (assuming in the same direction) the speed of the ball will be 1.7m/s larger than if you were to throw it standing still.
