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:

91.54 km

Explanation:

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

r = Radius of Io = 1821000 m

m = Mass of the Io =  8.93 × 10²² kg

H_i = 500000 m

g = Acceleration due to gravity on Earth = 9.81 m/s²

Acceleration due to gravity on Io

g_i=\frac{GM}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow g_i=\frac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 8.93\times 10^{22}}{1821000^2}\\\Rightarrow g_i=1.796\ m/s^2

H_e=\frac{v^2}{2g}

H_i=\frac{v^2}{2g_l}

Dividing the above equations we get

\frac{H_e}{H_i}=\frac{\frac{v^2}{2g}}{\frac{v^2}{2g_i}}\\\Rightarrow \frac{H_e}{H_i}=\frac{g_i}{g}\\\Rightarrow \frac{H_e}{H_i}=\frac{1.796}{9.81}\\\Rightarrow H_e=H_i\times \frac{1.796}{9.81}\\\Rightarrow H_e=500000\times \frac{1.796}{9.81}\\\Rightarrow H_e=91539.245\ m=91.54\ km

The material would go 91.54 km on earth if it were ejected with the same speed as on Io.

Two metal spheres are hanging from nylon threads. When you bring the spheres close to each other, they tend to attract. Based on
Tamiku [17]

Explanation:

In the given question, the two metal spheres were hanged with the nylon thread.

When these two spheres were brought close together, they attracted each other. The attraction between these spheres is the result of the opposite charges between them.

The possible ways by which these two metal spheres can be charged are by induction that is touching the metal or by rubbing them.

During induction, the same charges are transferred to each sphere. In this case, either both the spheres will be negatively charged or positively charged.

It is not possible that after the sphere touch each other they will cling together because the same charge repels each other and during touching, if one sphere is neutral, then the charged one will transfer the same charge. And as we know that same charge repel each other therefore they will repel each other.

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

Ray A = Incidence ray

Ray B = Reflected ray

Explanation:

From the law of reflection,

Normal: This is the line that makes an angle of 90° with the reflecting surface.

Ray A is the incidence ray: This is the ray that srikes the surface of a reflecting surface. The angle formed between the normal and the incidence ray is called the incidence angle

Ray B is the reflected ray: This is the ray leaves the surface of a reflecting surface. The angle formed between the reflected ray and the normal is called reflected angle

If we increase the force applied to an object, and all other factors remain the same, the amount of work will
soldier1979 [14.2K]
The question doesn't give us enough information to answer.
The answer depends on the mass of the object, how long the force
acts on the object, the OTHER forces on the object, and whether the
object is free to move.

-- If you increase the force with which you push on a brick wall,
the amount of work done remains unchanged, namely Zero.

-- If you push on a pingpong ball with a force of 1 ounce for 1 second,
the ball accelerates substantially, it moves a substantial distance, and
so the work done is substantial.

-- But if you push on a battleship, even with a much bigger force ...
let's say 1 pound ... and keep pushing for a month ... the ship accelerates
microscopically, moves a microscopic distance, and the work done by
your force is microscopic.
