A careful photographic survey of Jupiter's moon Io by the spacecraft Voyager 1 showed active volcanoes spewing liquid sulfur to

heights of 70 km above the surface of this moon. If the value of g on Io is 2.0 m/s2 , estimate the speed with which the liquid sulfur left the volcano.

The concept used to solve this problem is that given in the kinematic equations of motion. From theory we know that the change in velocities of a body is equivalent to twice the distance traveled by acceleration, in other words:

v_f^2-v_i^2 = 2ax

Where,

v_{f,i} = Final and initial velocity

a = Acceleration

x = Displacement

For the given case, the displacement is equivalent to the height (x = h) and the acceleration is the same gravitational acceleration (a = g). In turn we do not have initial speed therefore

v_f^2 = 2hg

v_f = \sqrt{2hg}

Our values are given as

h = 70km = 70*10^3m

g = 2m/s^2

Replacing we have that,

v_f = \sqrt{2hg}

v_f = \sqrt{2(70*10^3)(2)}

v_f = 529.15m/s

Therefore the speed with which the liquid sulfur left the volcano is 529.15m/s

Calculate the pressure exerted on the floor by the boy standing on both feet if the weight of the boy is 40kg. Assume that the a
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

P = 1333.33 N

Explanation:

The pressure exerted by the boy on the floor can be calculated by the following equation:

P = \frac{F}{A}

where,

P = Pressure exerted by the boy = ?

F = Force Applied = Weight of Boy = 40 kg = 40 N (since 1 kg = 1N)

A = Area of application of force = 2(Area of one show) = 2(6 cm x 25 cm)

A = 2(0.06 m x 0.25 m) = 0.03 m²

Therefore,

P = \frac{40\ N}{0.03\ m^2}\\\\

<u>P = 1333.33 N</u>
