A syfncttrun and the mass is 6.42 x 10 kg. The self-rotation period is 24.6 hours. 16. find the orbital altitude above the surface. R 17. Find the orbital speed of the space probe. M 18. Given the data of Saturn moving around the Sun, we can calculate the mass of the Sun. Saturn is 9.555 AU from the Sun. (1 AU = 1.496 x 10 meters), and Saturn moves around the Sun once every 29.54 years. Use this data to calculate the mass of the Sn 19. A space probe is flying Dy upiter (M 1.9 x 1027 kg) at a distance of 400,000 km from the surface. Jupiter's radius is 7.15 x 107 m. How last Would the space probe have to be traveling in order to escape the gravity of Jupiter?
