Physics

. You read in the newspaper that rocks from Mars have been foundon Earth. Your friend says that

the rocks were shot off Mars by the large volcanoes there. Youare skeptical so you decide to

calculate the magnitude of the velocity that volcanoes ejectrocks from geological evidence. You

know the gravitational acceleration of objects falling near thesurface of Mars is only 40% that on

the Earth. You can look up the height of Martian volcanoes anddetermine the distance rocks from

a volcano hit the ground from pictures of the Martian surface.If you assume the rocks farthest

from a volcano were ejected at an angle of 45 degrees, what isthe magnitude of the rock's

velocity as a function of its distance from the volcano and theheight of the volcano for the rock

furthest from the volcano?
