A rocket is fired ‘vertically’ from the surface of mars with a speed of 2 km s¯¹. If 20% of its initial energy is lost due to martian atmospheric resistance, how far will the rocket go from the surface of mars before returning to it ? Mass of mars = 6.4×10²³ kg; radius of mars = 3395 km; G = 6.67×10-¯¹¹ N m² kg¯². |
