chief scientist-engineer, you ma? Your starship, the Aimless Wanderer, lands on the mysterious planet Mongo. As chief scientist-engineer, you make the following measurements: a 2.50-kg stone thrown upward from the ground at 11.0 m/s returns to the ground in 5.00 s; the circumference of Mongo at the equator is 4.00×10^5 km ; and there is no appreciable atmosphere on Mongo.
a) The starship commander, Captain Confusion, asks for the following information: what is the mass of Mongo?
b) If the Aimless Wanderer goes into a circular orbit 2.00×10^4 km above the surface of Mongo, how many hours will it take the ship to complete one orbit?
I have been working on this problem for hours and cannot figure it out. please help.
