Question

A space station P with a mass m = 8.0 × 10² kg orbits around Mars at an altitude of 3.0 × 10² km while another space station Q with the same mass orbits around Mars at an altitude of 1.8 × 10⁴ km. Find their gravitational potential energies. Assume that the mass and the radius of Mars are 6.4 × 10²³ kg and 3.4 × 10⁶ m respectively.

Accepted Answer

The potential energy of space station P = - 9.2 × 10⁹ J

The potential energy of space station Q = -1.6 × 10⁹ J

Answer

The potential energy of space station P = - 1.6 × 10⁹ J

The potential energy of space station Q = -1.6 × 10⁹ J

Answer

The potential energy of space station P = - 2.3 × 10⁹ J

The potential energy of space station Q = -1.6 × 10⁹ J

Answer

The potential energy of space station P = - 9.2 × 10⁹ J

The potential energy of space station Q = -1.2 × 10⁹ J
