Question

The plume's max height is 316700m.

Need to find initial velocity, and time.

Jupiter's moon lo is the most volcanically active object in the solar system. The picture below shows a spectacular sulfur plume being ejected from the surface of lo, where the acceleration due to gravity is 1.80 m/s2. Relevant data for lo determined by other means) are given as well. lo diameter = 3642 km lo gravitational acceleration = 1.80 m/s2 Problem: Determine the velocity at which the sulfur plume is ejected from ld

Explanation / Answer

For initial velocity use equation derived from kinematic equations as below,

v= sqrt(2gh)

Plugging given values g=1.80m/s^2 and h=316700 m

v = sqrt(2*1.80*316700)

v = 1067.7 m/s
