To find the weight of a 63 kg student on the moon and Jupiter, we can use the formula:
Weight = mass × acceleration due to gravity
1. Weight on the moon: The acceleration due to gravity on the moon is 1/6 of Earth's gravity, which is approximately 1.6 m/s^2. Using the formula, the weight on the moon would be: Weight = 63 kg × 1.6 m/s^2 = 100.8 N (rounded to the nearest tenth)
ANSWER FOR ON THE MOON:
Therefore, the weight of a 63 kg student on the moon with 1/6 of Earth's gravitation is approximately 100.8 Newtons.
2. Weight on Jupiter: The acceleration due to gravity on Jupiter is 24.79 m/s^2 (given in the question). Using the formula, the weight on Jupiter would be: Weight = 63 kg × 24.79 m/s^2 = 1561.77 N (rounded to the nearest tenth)
ANSWER FOR JUPITER:
Therefore, the weight of a 63 kg student on Jupiter with an acceleration of 24.79 m/s^2 is approximately 1561.77 Newtons.
hope this helps you :)
