We can solve the problem by using the law of conservation of energy.
When the rocket starts its motion from the Earth surface, its mechanical energy is sum of kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy:
where
m is the rocket's mass
is the rocket initial speed
is the gravitational constant
is the Earth's mass
is the distance of the rocket from the Earth's center (so, it corresponds to the Earth's radius)
The mechanical energy of the rocket when it is very far from the Earth is just kinetic energy (because the gravitational potential at infinite distance from Earth is taken to be zero):
where
is the final speed of the rocket.
By equalizing the initial energy and the final energy, we can find the final velocity:
Answer:
Explanation:
We have,
Mass of Mars is,
Mass of its moon Phobos,
Distance between Mars and Phobos, d = 9378 km
It is required to find the gravitational force between Mars and Phobos. The force between two masses is given by
Plugging all values, we get :
So, the gravitational force is .
The answer would be center of mass, B
