Mass of the spaceship, = 1000 kg
Mass of the Sun, M = 2 * 1030 kg
Mass of Mars, = 6.4*1023 kg
Orbital radius of Mars, R = 2.28 *108 km = 2.28 *1011 m
Radius of Mars, r = 3395 km = 3.395
Universal Gravitational constant, G = 6.67*10-11 N m2 kg–2
Potential energy of the spaceship due to the gravitational attraction of the Sun =
Potential energy of the spaceship due to the gravitational attraction of Mars=
Since the spaceship is stationed on Mars, its velocity and hence its kinetic energy will be zero
Total energy of the spaceship = = + )
The negative sign indicates that th
