8.25 A rocket is fired 'vertically' from the surface of mars with a speed of 2 km s–1. If 20% of its initial energy is lost due to Martian atmospheric resistance, how far will the rocket go from the surface of mars before returning to it? Mass of mars = 6.4*1023 kg; radius of mars = 3395 km; G = 6.67*10-11 N m2 kg–2.

If 20% of initial kinetic energy is lost due to Martian atmosphere resistance, then only 80% of its kinetic energy helps in reaching a height
Total initial energy available = 0.8
