- Please explain in full detail as I am trying to understand this concept! thank you! a. Sketch a diagram including Earth, Sun, and Mars, with attention to scale of distance (Mars is about 1.5 AU from the Sun) showing a faster trajectory from Earth to Mars than the minimal energy trajectory discussed in the lecture. b. Without doing a calculation, how would the arrival velocity of the spacecraft at Mars for the case in (a) compare to the spacecraft arrival in the class example? The lecture example had the spacecraft arriving at Mars with a velocity of 22.49 km/sec. c. The average velocity of Mars in orbit around the Sun is 24.08 km/sec.

- Procedure Table 11.1 presents Djup and Pday for the major Jovian satellites. First use these data and the equation above to calculate Jupiter’s mass in kilograms (kg). Enter your results in the table for each satellite. Next calculate the average Jupiter mass (Mjup, av) and enter the result in the table. Finally, calculate the percent difference (PD) using Mjup, av and the standard value for Jupiter’s mass (1.9 X 1027 kg). In the calculation of PD you can ignore 1027 because it will appear in both numerator and denominator. ________________________________________________________ Table 11.1 Calculated values for Jupiter’s Mass Satellite Djup Pday Mjup Io 2.95 1.77 Europa 4.69 3.55 Ganymede 7.50 7.15 Callisto 13.15 16.7 __________________________________________________________ Average Jupiter Mass = Percent Difference =arrow_forwardWhat is Tyndall Effect?
