Europa, a satellite of Jupiter, is believed to have a liquid ocean of water (with a possibility of life) beneath its icy surface

. In planning a future mission to Europa, what is the fastest that an astronaut with legs of length 0.68 m could walk on the surface of Europa? Europa is 3100 km in diameter and has a mass of 4.8×1022kg.

Answer:

so maximum velocity for walk on the surface of europa is  0.950999 m/s

Explanation:

Given data

legs of length r =  0.68 m

diameter = 3100 km

mass = 4.8×10^22 kg

to find out

maximum velocity for walk on the surface of europa

solution

first we calculate radius that is

radius = d/2 = 3100 /2 = 1550 km

radius = 1550 × 10³ m

so we calculate no maximum velocity that is

max velocity = √(gr)    ...............1

here r is length of leg

we know g = GM/r²   from universal gravitational law

so G we know 6.67 × 10^{-11} N-m²/kg²

g = 6.67 × 10^{-11} ( 4.8×10^22 ) / ( 1550 × 10³ )

g = 1.33 m/s²

now

we put all value in equation 1

max velocity = √(1.33 × 0.68)

max velocity = 0.950999 m/s

so maximum velocity for walk on the surface of europa is  0.950999 m/s
