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.

The portion of the flux leaves the curved surface of the cylinder is 60%.

<h3 /><h3>What are electrons?</h3>

The electrons are the spinning objects around the nucleus of the atom of the element in an orbit.

If a point charge is located at the center of a cylinder and the electric flux leaving one end of the cylinder is 20% of the total flux leaving the cylinder.

If 20% of the flux leave from one end, then another 20% will leave from another end.

So, the net flux through curved surface is

100 -20 -20 = 60%

Thus, the total flux  leaves the curved surface of the cylinder is 60%

Calculate the gravitational potential energy is a bicycle of mass 20kg and its rider of mass 50kg cycle to the top of a hill 120
Travka [436]

Explanation:

Gravitational Potential Energy can be calculated with the following formula:

mgh

Where m is mass, g is Gravitational Field Strength, and h is height. GFS on Earth is always 9.81, the combined mass of the cyclist and the bicycle is 70, and the height is 120. Multiplying these values together, we get:

82,404J.

Waves are observed passing under a dock. Wave crests are 8.0 meters apart. The time for a complete wave to pass by is 4.0 second
Anit [1.1K]
The amplitude of a wave can be obtained by measuring the distance from the resting position of the wave to its crest. The resting position is half of the distance from the crest to the trough. Given that the distance between the crest and the trough is 3 meters, the amplitude should be half of that, which is 1.5 meters.

The quantity that has units kg m2/sec2 is known as a
Svetach [21]

Answer:

Energy

Explanation:

The unit is kg\ m^2/s^2.

We can see the formula of kinetic energy is

K.E=\frac{1}{2} mv^2

Where m is the mass and v is the velocity of the object.

Which means its unit would be kg times square of meter per second, that is  kg\ m^2/s^2. Which is often referred as Joule.

Also, when look at the formula of work done by an object.

W=f\times d

Where f is the force and d is the distance traveled by the object due to force f.

We an see that its unit is kg meter per second squared times meter. That is equivalent to kg\ m^2/s^2. This is also a type of energy.

So, the unit kg\ m^2/s^2 is the unit of energy.

Captain Kiddo is trapped inside a submarine. In order to escape, she first needs to open a heavy revolving door.
Annette [7]

Answer:

a) It will be easier to apply all her force as far as possible from the axle

b) There is a net torque applied

Explanation:

a) Applying a larger force far away from the axle of the door produces a larger force on the torque than pushing it near the axle. This is because Increasing the lever arm between the axle and the point at which you push the door increases the torque on the door

b)The door is turning faster and faster because you are exerting a torque on it and its undergoing angular acceleration. There is a net torque which is the addition of the torque applied on the opposite sides of the door
