Jupiter's moon Io has active volcanoes (in fact, it is the most volcanically active body in the solar system) that eject materia

l 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. For this calculation, ignore any variation in gravity over the 500 km range of the debris. How high would this material go on earth if it were ejected with the same speed as on Io?

Answer:

H_2 = 91.55 km

Explanation:

Gravity on the surface of planet is given as

g = \frac{GM}{R^2}

as we know that

M = 8.93 \times 10^{22} kg

R = 1821 km

now gravity on the planet is

g = \frac{(6.67 \times 10^{-11})(8.93 \times 10^{22})}{(1821 \times 10^3)^}

so we have

g = 1.8 m/s^2

now we know that

H_{max} = \frac{v^2}{2g}

so we will say

\frac{H_1}{H_2} = \frac{g_2}{g_1}

\frac{500}{H_2} = \frac{9.81}{1.8}

H_2 = 91.55 km

A proton (mass=1.67x10^-27 kg, charge= 1.60x10^-19 C) moves from point A to point under the influence of an electrostatic force
Tom [10]

Answer:

VB -  VA  =  - 33.4

Explanation:

Generally the workdone in moving the proton is mathematically represented as

     W  =  KE_f  - KE_i

Where KE_i \ and \  KE_f \  are\  the\  initial  \  and  \  final \  kinetic \  energy

So

    KE_i  =  \frac{1}{2} m v_a^2

Here v_a is the velocity at A with value  50 m/s

So

    KE_i  =  \frac{1}{2} (1.67*10^{-27}) * 50^2

    KE_i  = 2.09 *10^{-24} \  J

Also  

     KE_f  =  \frac{1}{2} m v_b^2

Here v_a is the velocity at A with value 80 km/s = 80000 m/s

=>   KE_f  =  \frac{1}{2} (1.67*10^{-27}) * 80000^2

=>   KE_f  = 5.34 *10^{-18} \  J

 So

    W  =   5.34 *10^{-18}  - 2.09 *10^{-24}

     W  =   5.34 *10^{-18}  m/s

Now this workdone is also mathematically represented as

     W =  q *  V

So  

    q *  V =   5.34 *10^{-18}

Here  q =  1.60*10^{-19} C

So

        V =   \frac{5.34 *10^{-18} }{1.60*10^{-19}}

         V =   33.4 \  V

Generally proton movement is in the direction of the electric field it means that  VA>VB

So

    VB -  VA  =  - 33.4
