    Is This How a Spaceship Enters Mars?

    Spaceship entering mars! okay guys so you have to open this file to read the question accuretely.. i have done some calculations but not sure if they are correct. So just this as best as i can, fist i figure out my semi-minor axis = a by 150km +150 KM +230 km =530km (major axis) now to...

    Acceleration Due to Gravity Question

    think about it if you throw it straight down its has an initial velocity only. In ideal physics your acceleration due to gravity should be only 9.8m/s on free falling objects.

    Calculating the Orbital Speed of Mars: An Easy Guide

    In order to send a spacecraft to the planet Mars you will need to complete some basic orbital equations using Kepler's law of orbits. In the next few Mars Math Questions, we will look at ways engineers calculate this by introducing you to some basic equations and formulas. . Mars is 230...

    Calculating the Orbital Speed of Mars: An Easy Guide

    orbital speed of mars! help!? Mars is 230 million km from the sun. It completes one orbit in a period of approximately 687 days. Calculate the orbital speed of Mars in mph. OK so gave me the formula which 2*pi*r/ Period r= distance from the planet to the sun. and cirmumference = 2*pi* r...

    Orbital Speed of Earth: Calculating the Speed of Earth's Orbit Around the Sun

    ok doc now I am just lost. i thought i had gotten the orbital speed by 2*3.1416*150000000km / 8766 hours (365 days) = 107515.4 km/h? do i i need to get the circumference of the Earth then divide by the 107515.4004 km/h (?

    Calculating Depth of Water in Floating Cube

    okay so i got the amount of the water being displaced by multypling 1000 kg/m * .009m = 9kg at 1/3 of its height. so the rest 2/3 it would take 18 kg to fill the cube right..so i divided my mass of 18kg by my density of water to get my volume.. my volume i know was .3*.3 * X= i got x to...
