Question

A-) Determine the angular momentum of Mars about its rotation axis (assuming Mars is a uniform sphere). Mars has a mass of 6.4×10^23 kg, a radius of 3.4×10^6 m, a rotational period of 24.7 hours, an orbital period of 687 days, and is 2.3×10^8 km from the Sun. B-) Determine the angular momentum of Mars in its orbit around the Sun (treating Mars as a particle orbiting the Sun).

Step 1

Given: Mass of Mars, m = 6.4×10^23 kg Radius of Mars, r = 3.4×10^6 m The moment of inertia of a uniform sphere rotating about its axis is given by I = (2/5) * m * r^2. Substitute the values: I = (2/5) * 6.4×10^23 * (3.4×10^6)^2 I = 2.959×10^45 kg m^2 Show more…
