Question

Calculate the acceleration of gravity on the surface of the following worlds. How much would you weigh, in pounds, on each of the following worlds? A. Mars (mass 0.11 M_Earth) (radius 0.53 R_Earth) B. Venus (mass 0.82 M_Earth) (radius 0.95 R_Earth) C. Jupiter (mass 317.8 M_Earth) (radius 11.2 R_Earth)

Answer 1

Mars: 0.103 *(Real weigh)

Venus: 0.9 * (Real weigh)

Jupiter 2.53 * (Real weigh)

Explanation:

The formula is this:

GM/r**2

M= Mass

r = radius

You do not need G for comparing between different masses or planets.
