Final answer:
Weight is a product of mass and gravitational acceleration. The weight on Jupiter is more than on Earth, but without the exact value of Jupiter's gravity, we can't accurately calculate the weight of 150 kg on Jupiter. None of the options provided would be correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
When considering the weight of an object on Jupiter, we know that weight is calculated by the formula w = mg, where m is the mass and g is the acceleration due to gravity. The mass of the object in the question is 150 kg, and we know that the acceleration due to gravity on Earth is 9.80 m/s².
Although Jupiter is more massive than Earth, the actual gravitational acceleration at its surface is not simply 2.5 times that of Earth's due to its larger radius. Jupiter has a higher acceleration due to gravity, but without knowing the exact value of g on Jupiter, we can't calculate the precise weight. However, since we do know that Jupiter's gravitational pull is much stronger than that of the Earth, we can infer that the weight will be greater than 150 kg multiplied by Earth's gravity.
For instance, using Earth's gravitational value as a reference: 150 kg × 9.80 m/s² = 1470 N. On Jupiter, gravity is stronger, so the weight would be significantly more than 1470 N. Without the specific gravity value for Jupiter, we can't choose an accurate answer from the options provided (a) 375 N, (b) 150 N, (c) 60 N, (d) 600 N. Thus, a refusal to answer is in place since the correct answer would not be any of these options.
