- We believe that chains of comet fragments like Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9’s have collided not only with the jovian planets, but occasionally with their moons. What sort of features would you look for on the outer planet moons to find evidence of such collisions? (As an extra bonus, can you find any images of such features on a moon like Callisto? You can use an online site of planetary images, such as the Planetary Photojournal, at photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov.)arrow_forwardCalculate the mass of Callisto using a value for its density of 1.8 g/cm3. Convert your answer to units of kg, and compare to the mass of Ganymede given in Problem 5. (Notes: Density is mass divided by volume, and the volume of a sphere is 43r3. Necessary data are given in Appendix Table A-11.) 4. What is the escape velocity from the surface of Ganymede? Ganymedes mass is 1.5 1023 kg and its radius is 2.6 103 km. (Hint: Use the formula for escape velocity, Eq. 5-1b. The formula requires input quantities in kg and m.)arrow_forwardThe smallest detail visible through Earth-based telescopes is about 1 arc second in diameter.
