Write a computer program to model the motion of Mars around the Sun. Use the known period of Mars's orbit to determine an initial approximate velocity. Display a trail so you see the shape of the orbit. Create spheres representing Mars and the Sun, consider the orbital period T-687*24*3600 #s. Calculate the initial momentum of Mars , consider the speed =2"pi*R/T. Initiate a while loop with rate (500). Calculate, and update the force, momenta, and the positions Note: Mars (Mass=0.642e24 kg. R-2.288e11 # Orbital radius in m (assuming a circular orbit) radius=0.05*R), G*6.67e-11) Sun (Mass=2e30 kg, radius= 0.05*R)
