Ganymede is the largest of Jupiter's moons. Consider a rocket on the surface of Ganymede at a point farthest from the planet. Model the rocket as a particle.Ā 
Ā 
Ā 
(a) Does the presence of Ganymede make Jupiter exert a larger, smaller, or same size force on the rocket compared with the force it would exert if Ganymede were not interposed?Ā 
Ā 
(b) Determine the escape speed for the rocket from the planet-satellite system. The radius of Ganymede is 2.64 x 106 m, and its mass is 1.495 x 1023 kg. The distance between Jupiter and Ganymede is 1.071 x 109 m, and the mass of Jupiter is 1.90 x 1027 kg. Ignore the motion of Jupiter and Ganymede as they revolve about their center of mass.Ā

Very far from earth(atĀ R=\infty), a spacecraft has run out of fuel and its kinetic energy is zero. If only the gravitational force of the earth were to act on it (i.e., neglect the forces from the sun and other solar system objects), the spacecraft would eventually crash into the earth. The mass of the earth is and its radius isĀ R_e. Neglect air resistance throughout this problem, since the spacecraft is primarily moving through the near-vacuum of space.
Ā 
Part A
Find the speedĀ s_eĀ of the spacecraft when it crashes into the earth.
Express the speed in terms ofM_e,Ā R_e, and the universal gravitational constantĀ G.
Part B
Now find the spacecraft's speed when its distance from the center of the earth is R=\alpha R_{\rm e}, whereĀ \alpha \ge 1.
Express the speed in terms ofs_eĀ andĀ alpha.

13.16 . Volcanoes on Io. Jupiter's moon lo has active volca- noes (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 X 1022 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 lo?
