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 8.93×1022kg and a radius of 1821 km. Part A
How high would this material go on earth if it were ejected with the same speed as on Io? (RE = 6370 km, mE=5.96×1024kg)
Express your answer with the appropriate units.
View Available Hint(s)for Part A
Hint 1for Part A. Find speed of the material ejected from Io.
Step 1: Use conservation of energy (universal potential energy) to find the speed with which the material is ejected from Io. Remember that at the maximum altiute reached bu the material the speed is zero.

Step 2: After you find the speed of ejection from step 1, use the conservation of energy for the material ejected with this speed from Earth and find the altitude (distance from surface).

Electric field of the earth. the earth has a net electric charge that causes a field at points near its surface equal to 150 n> c and directed in toward the center of the earth. (a) what magnitude and sign of charge would a 60-kg human have to acquire to overcome his or her weight by the force exerted by the earth’s electric field? (b) what would be the force of repulsion between two people each with the charge calculated in part (a) and separated by a distance of 100 m? is use of the earth’s electric field a feasible means of flight? why or why not?
