Ganymede is the largest of Jupiter's moons. Consider a rocket on the surface of Ganymede, at the point farthest from the planet (see figure below). Model the rocket as a particle. Ganymede Jupiter (a) Does the presence of Ganymede make Jupiter exert a larger, smaller, or same size force on the rocket compared with the force it would exert if Ganymede were not interposed? O larger O smaller O the same size (b) Determine the escape speed for the rocket from the planet-satellite system. The radius of Ganymede is 2.64 x 10 m, and its mass is 1.495 x 1023 kg. The distance between Jupiter and Ganymede is 1.071 x 10 m, and the mass of Jupiter is 1.90 x 1027 kg. Ignore the motion of Jupiter and Ganymede as they revolve about their center of mass. km/s
