Jupiter's moon Io has active volcanoes (in fact, it is the most volcanically active body 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.

How high would this material go on earth if it were ejected with the same speed as on Io?

(RE = 6370 km, mE=5.96×10^24 kg)

I got the answer 91.5 km, but it is incorrect and says "Your answer suggests that you have assumed constant gravitational acceleration over the whole height of the ejected debris. Note that gravitational field changes quite significantly over this height."

Thank you!

The body of works in Western philosophy leads us to the fact that the virtue of justice is a human moral excellence but we don't always hit the mark so to speak. In fact, no matter how we define justice it never seems to capture why injustices keep occurring. What principles, values and moral virtues do we need to promote in order to bring us closer to social justice in contemporary society ?

Most people are familiar with visual illusions such as the Muller-Lyer illusion or the moon illusion (http://www.michaelbach.de/ot/ ). However, in reality it is difficult to define Illusion rigorously because in a sense all of what we see is an illusion. Explain and discuss. Provide empirical evidence to support your statements. Include citations and references. (Be sure to use APA format for your citation and reference).

An Asteroid with its own Moon: The asteroid 243 Ida has its own small moon, Dactyl. (See the photo on p 394) Another such system, asteroid 624 Hektor, has a mass of 7.9 x 10^18, with its moon orbiting at a radius of 623.5 km and a period of 2.965 days. A) Given that the orbital radius of Dactyl is 108 km, and its period is 1.54 days, is the mass of 243 Ida greater than, less than ore equal...
