A spaceship is satationed on Mars. How much energy must be expended on the space ship to rocket it out of the solar system ? Mass of the space ship = 1000 kg. Mass of the sun `= 2 xx 10^(30 ) kg`, Mass of Mars `= 6.4 xx 10^(23) kg`, radius of Mars = 3395 km, radius of the orbit of Mars` = 2.28 xx 10^(8) km, G = 6.67 xx 10^(-11) Nm^(2) kg^(-2)`

To determine the energy required to rocket a spaceship out of the solar system from Mars, we need to consider the gravitational potential energy due to both the Sun and Mars. The formula for gravitational potential energy (U) between two masses is given by: \[ U = -\frac{G m_1 m_2}{r} \] where: - \(G\) is the gravitational constant (\(6.67 \times 10^{-11} \, \text{Nm}^2/\text{kg}^2\)), ...
