Deimos's Orbit. Deimos orbits Mars at a distance of 23,460 km from the center of the planet and has a period of 1.263 days. Assume that Deimos's orbit is circular. Calculate the mass of Mars. Express your answer in units of kg. (Hint: Use the circular orbit velocity formula ; remember to use units of meters, kilograms, and seconds.) Please round the answer to four significant digits.

M = 5.882 10²³ kg

Explanation:

Let's use Newton's second law to analyze the satellite orbit around Mars.

         F = m a

force is universal attraction and acceleration is centripetal

          a = v²/ R

the modulus of velocity in a circular orbit is constant

         v= d/T

the distance of the cicule is

        d =2pi R

       a = 2pi R/T  

we substitute

          - G m M / R² = m ( )

         G M =

         M =

the distance R is the distance from the center of the planet Mars to the center of the satellite Deimos

         R = 23460 km = 2.3460 10⁷ m

the period of the orbit is

         T = 1,263 days = 1,263 day (24 h / 1 day) (3600s / h)

          T = 1.0912 10⁵ s

let's calculate

          M =

          M = 509.73418 10²¹  /8.66640 10⁻¹

          M = 58.817 10²² kg

          M = 5.882 10²³ kg

colorectal cancer may also develop from areas of abnormal cells in the lining of the colon or rectum. this area of abnormal cells is called dysplasia and is more commonly seen in people with certain inflammatory diseases of the bowel such as crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis.
