A powerful volcano erupts on Earth and ejects material 50 km
high into the atmosphere. Io is a moon of Jupiter, and is one of the most volcanically
active places in our solar system. How high would this material go on Io if it were ejected
with the same speed as by the volcano on earth? Io has a mass of 8.931022 kg and a
radius of 1821 km. Ignore air resistance, but do not assume that gravity is constant over
the ranges that the material travels
