meteorite that was once thought to contain fossils of ancient lite on Mars. Meteorites from Mars are thought to get to Earth by being blasted off the Martian surface when a large object (such as an asteroid or a comet) crashes into the planet. What speed must a rock have to escape Mars? 48. • What is the launch speed of a projectile that rises vertically above the Earth to an altitude equal to one Earth radius before coming to rest momentarily? 49. • A projectile launched vertically from the surface of the Moon rises to an altitude of 425 km. What was the projectile's initial speed? 50... (a) How much gravitational potential energy must a 3130-kg satellite acquire in order to attain a geosynchronous orbit? (b) How much kinetic energy must it gain? Note that because of the rota- tion of the Earth on its axis, the satellite had a velocity of 463 m/s relative to the center of the Earth just before launch. 51. .. Predict/Calculate Halley's Comet Halley's comet, which passes around the Sun every 76 years, has an elliptical orbit. When clos- est to the Sun (nerihelion) it is at a distance of 8.823 X 1010 m and
