Jupiter’s moon Io has active volcanoes (in fact, it is the most volcanically active object in the solar system) that eject material as high as 500 km (or even higher) above the surface. Io has a mass of 8.93 * 10^22 kg 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?
You are on a space station, in a circular orbit h = 500 km above the surface of the Earth. You complete your tasks several days early and must wait for the next mission from the surface to bring you home. After days of boredom, you decide to play some golf. Walking on the space station surface with magnetic shoes, you tee up a golf ball. You hit it with all of your might, sending it off with speed υrel, relative to the space station, in a direction parallel to the velocity vector of the space station at the moment the ball is hit. You notice that you then orbit the Earth exactly n = 2.00 times and you reach up and catch the golf ball as it returns to the space station. With what speed υrel was the golf ball hit?
(a) Imagine that a space probe could be fired as a projectile from the Earth's surface with an initial speed of
5.34 x 104 m/s relative to the Sun. What would its speed be when it is very far from the Earth (in m/s)? Ignore
atmospheric friction, the effects of other planets, and the rotation of the Earth. (Consider the mass of the Sun in your
calculations.)
m/s
(b) What If? The speed provided in part (a) is very difficult to achieve technologically. Often, Jupiter is used as a
"gravitational slingshot" to increase the speed of a probe to the escape speed from the solar system, which is
1.85 x 104 m/s from a point on Jupiter's orbit around the Sun (if Jupiter is not nearby). If the probe is launched from
the Earth's surface at a speed of 4.10 x 104 m/s relative to the Sun, what is the increase in speed needed from the
gravitational slingshot at Jupiter for the space probe to escape the solar system (in m/s)? (Assume that the Earth and
the point on Jupiter's orbit lie along the same…
