What is the orbital period of a spacecraft in a low orbit near the surface of mars? The radius of mars is 3.4×106m.
valkas [14]
<h2>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 T of a body (moon, planet, satellite) orbiting a greater body in space with the size a of its orbit.

This Law is originally expressed as follows:

T^{2}=\frac{4\pi^{2}}{GM}a^{3}   (1)

Where;

G is the Gravitational Constant and its value is 6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}}

M=6.39(10)^{23}kg is the mass of Mars

a=3.4(10)^{6}m  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:

T=\sqrt{\frac{4\pi^{2}}{GM}a^{3}}    (2)

T=\sqrt{\frac{4\pi^{2}}{(6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}})(6.39(10)^{23}kg)}(3.4(10)^{6}m)^{3}}    (3)

T=\sqrt{11581157.44 s^{2}}    (4)

Finally:

T=3403.1099s=56.718min    This is the orbital period of a spacecraft in a low orbit near the surface of mars

Because it has to do with the motion of something, especially if it changes its pace. In this example, the book's motion, when sliding on the table, decreased because of less force being given off from the student.
