Evaluate the escape velocity from the asteroid

Reference no: EM13547930

An asteroid is discovered to have a tiny moon that orbits it in a circular path at a distance of 115 km and with a period of 49.0 h. The asteroid is roughly spherical (unusual for such a small body) with a radius of 13.5 km.

a) Find the acceleration of gravity at the surface of the asteroid.

b) Find the escape velocity from the asteroid.
