An astronaut drops a marble on the surface of Mars and observes that it takes 1.02 s for the marble to fall 2.00 m. She also knows that the radius of Mars is 3.39 × 106 m and that G = 6.67 x 10-11 N•m2/kg2
From this information, she can conclude that the mass of Mars is A) 3.30 × 1023 kg.
B) 6.62 × 1023 kg.
C) 4.62 × 1023 kg.
D) 8.09 × 1023 kg.
E) 9.95 × 1023 kg.
