Question

what is the orbital speed for a satellite 3.5 x 10^8m from the center of mars? Mars mass is 6.4 x 10^23 kg

Answer 1

Answer:

v = 349.23 m/s

Explanation:

It is required to find the orbital speed for a satellite $3.5\times 10^8\ m$ from the center of mass.

Mass of Mars, $M=6.4\times 10^{23}\ kg$

The orbital speed for a satellite is given by the formula as follows :

$v=\sqrt{\dfrac{GM}{r}} \\\\v=\sqrt{\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 6.4\times 10^{23}}{3.5\times 10^8}} \\\\v=349.23\ m/s$

So, the orbital speed for a satellite is 349.23 m/s.
