1. Deimos, a moon of Mars, is about 12.0 in diameter, with a mass of 2.00×1015 . Suppose you are stranded alone on Deimos and want to play a one-person game of baseball. You would be the pitcher, and you would be the batter!
With what speed would you have to throw a baseball so that it would go into orbit and return to you so you could hit it?
2. v^2=GM/R
3.v = sqrt(6.67*10^-11*2*10^15/12000)
v = 3.334 m/s
