Jupiter's moon Io has active volcanoes (in fact, it is the most volcanically active body in the solar system) that eject material as high as 500 kmkm (or even higher) above the surface. Io has a mass of 8.93×10^22kg and a radius of 1821 km. How high would this material go on earth if it were ejected with the same speed as on Io? (RE = 6370 km, m_E=5.96×10^24kg) Express your answer with the appropriate units.
Rick is an Aerospace Engineer at NASA’s Jet Propulsions Laboratory (JPL), and is designing the next mission to Pluto called “New Horizons 2: The Sequel". This time Rick plans to study Pluto's largest moon Charon. Charon has a mass of 1.586 ×1021 kg and a mean radius of 606 km, and might have a nitrogenous atmosphere (N2) just like Pluto. If, for a massive object to have an atmosphere its escape speed must be 12 times greater than the root-mean- square (rms) velocity of the gas (otherwise the gas will slowly leak away over time), what is the maximum temperature that Charon can have and still have a nitrogenous atmosphere? [Charon has a temperature of -281 °C = 55 K, day or night.]
Jupiter's moon Io has active volcanoes (in fact, it is the most volcanically active body in the solar system) that eject material as high as 500 km (or even higher) above the surface. Io has a mass of 8.93×1022kg and a radius of 1821 km How high would this material go on earth if it were ejected with the same speed as on Io? (REarth = 6370 km, mEartg=5.96×1024kg) NOTE: Your answer suggests that you have assumed constant gravitational acceleration over the whole height of the ejected debris. Note that the gravitational field changes quite significantly over this height.
Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 surveyed the surface of Jupiter’s moon Io and photographed active volcanoes spewing liquid sulfur to heights of 70 km above the surface of this moon. Find the speed with which the liquid sulfur left the volcano. Io’s mass is 8.9 × 1022 kg, and its radius is 1 820 km.
A submersible robot is exploring one of the methane seas on Titan, Saturn's largest moon. It discovers a number of small spherical structures on the bottom of the sea at depth of 10 meters [m], and selects one for analysis. The sphere selected has a volume of 1.9 cubic centimeters [cm3] and a density of 2.25 grams per cubic centimeter [g/cm3]. When the rock is returned to Earth for analysis, what is the weight of the sphere in newtons [N]? Gravity on Titan is 1.352 meters per second squared [m/s2]. The density of methane is 0.712 grams per liter [g/L] The weight of the sphere is ____ N.
