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.

What derived unit is used to measure the slope of the line in this graph?
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

g/cm³

Explanation:

From the question given above,

The y-axis is representing mass (g)

The x-axis is representing volume (cm³)

Unit of slope =?

Slope of a graph is simply defined as the change in y-axis divided by the change in x-axis. Mathematically it is expressed as:

Slope = change in y-axis (Δy)/change in x-axis (Δx)

Slope = Δy/Δx

Thus, with the above formula, we can obtain the unit used for measuring the slope as follow:

y-axis = mass (g)

x-axis = volume (cm³)

Slope =.?

Slope = Δy/Δx

Slope = mass (g) /volume (cm³)

Slope = g/cm³

Therefore, the derive unit used for measuring the slope is g/cm³

You want to examine the hairy details of your favorite pet caterpillar, using a lens of focal length 8.9 cm 8.9 cm that you just
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

The angular magnification is M = 2.808

Explanation:

From the question we are told

           The focal length is  f = 8.9cm

          The near point is n_p = 25.0cm

The angular magnification is mathematically represented as

                          M = \frac{n_p}{f}

Substituting values

                        M = \frac{25}{8.9}

                           = 2.808
