ANASA space probe is traveling from the Earth (average orbital radius, rE= 149.6 x 106 km; period of revolution, Tg = 1.00 yrs) to Mars (average orbital radius, 7y=227.9 x 106 km; period of revolution, Ty= 1.881 yrs). Treat the crbit of Mars and Earth as circles, with the Sun at the center. The trip takes tgy=15 months. The average length of a month is 30.436875 days. Part (a) Calculate the orbital velocity, vg. of Earth in m/s. Numeric : A numeric value is expected and not an expression. "E= Part (b) Calculate the orbital velocity, v of Mars in m/s. Numeric :Anumeric value is expected and not an expression. Part (c) Assume that the probe starts at rest on the surface of the Earth and comes to rest on the surface of Mars. Calculate the average tangential acceleration, a, in m's, of the probe over its journey. Numeric :Anumeric value is expected and not an expression. Part (d) Calculate the change in the radial acceleration, Aa, in m/s, of the probe relative to the Sun, as it travels from Earth to Mars. Numeric :Anumeric value is expected and not an expression.
