Question 4

A scientific research probe is in a circular orbit around Mars at an altitude of 3.4 × 106 m above the Martian surface.

The radius of Mars is 3.4 × 106 m and its mass is 6.4 × 1023 kg.

What is the angular speed of the probe?

Take G=6.67×10−11 N m2 kg−2 \text{Take } G = 6.67 \times 10^{-11}\text{ N m}^2\text{ kg}^{-2} Take G=6.67×10−11 N m2 kg−2
