Question

Urgent need help 100 points

Suppose that scientists observe violent gas eruptions on a planet with an acceleration due to gravity of 3.6 m/s2.

The jets throw sand and dust about 75 m

above the surface.


What is the speed i

of the material just as it leaves the surface?


Scientists estimate that the jets originate as high‑pressure gas speeds through vents just below ground at about 150 km/h.

How much energy per kilogram of material does the jet lose to nonconservative forces as the high‑speed matter forces its way to the surface and into the air?

Answer 1

Answer: The velocity with which the sand throw is 24.2 m/s.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step-by-step explanation:

acceleration due to gravity, a = 3.9 m/s2

height, h = 75 m

final velocity, v = 0

Let the initial velocity at the time of throw is u.

Use third equation of motion

The velocity with which the sand throw is 24.2 m/s.
