Scientists want to place a 2600 kg satellite in orbit around Mars. They plan to have the satellite orbit at a speed of 2439 m/s in a perfectly circular orbit. Here is some information that may help solve this problem:
mmars = 6.4191 x 1023 kg
rmars = 3.397 x 106 m
G = 6.67428 x 10-11 N-m2/kg2
1) What radius should the satellite move at in its orbit? (Measured frrom the center of Mars.)
