Question

If a 0.500-kilogram pair of running shoes would weigh 11.55 newtons on Jupiter, what is the strength of gravity there?

A. 23.1 N
B. 12.05 N
C. 22.1 N
D. 9.25 N

Answer 1

The strength of gravity on Jupiter is 23.1 N/kg.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the strength of gravity on Jupiter, we can use the formula for weight:

Weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity

We know that the weight of the running shoes on Jupiter is 11.55 N and the mass is 0.500 kg. So, rearranging the formula, we have:

Acceleration due to gravity on Jupiter = Weight / mass

Plugging in the values, we get:

Acceleration due to gravity on Jupiter = 11.55 N / 0.500 kg = 23.1 N/kg

Therefore, the strength of gravity on Jupiter is 23.1 N/kg.
