(show work +15) Let’s suppose SpaceX is planning to release a 2-kg Starlink communication satellite to orbit Mars at an altitude of h=[h] km from the surface of Mars. Mass of Mars = 6.39 x 1023 kg, Radius of Mars = 3390 km. a) What is the velocity of the satellite in that orbit? b) What is the kinetic energy of the satellite? c) What is the potential energy of the satellite? d) What is the period of the satellite in that orbit around Mars? Below, enter the answer to part d) the time in hours rounded off to TWO decimal places.
