A careful photographic survey of Jupiter's moon Io by the spacecraft Voyager 1 showed active volcanoes spewing liquid sulfur to heights of 60 km above the surface of this moon. If the value of g on Io is 2.0 m/s2, estimate the speed with which the liquid sulfur left the volcano.
 a. 120 m/s
  c. 490 m/s
  b. 240 m/s
  d. 970 m/s

Question 2

 a. 2800 m/s
  c. 5600 m/s
  b. 4600 m/s

It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
