Textbook Question

Chapter 12, Problem 21PCE

Predict/Calculate An Extraterrestrial Volcano Several volcanoes have been observed erupting on the surface of Jupiter’s closest Galilean moon, lo. Suppose that material ejected from one of these volcanoes reaches a height of 5.00 km after being projected straight upward with an initial speed of 134 m/s. Given that the radius of lo is 1820 km, (a) outline a strategy that allows you to calculate the mass of lo. (b) Use your strategy to calculate lo’s mass.
