Question

Johnathan weighs 650N on Earth. What would his weight be if he was on Jupiter, which has a gravity of 24.8 m/s^2?

Answer 1

`\begin{gathered} On\text{ Earth} \\ W_{earth_{}}=mg_(earth)=650N \\ \text{Solving m} \\ m=\frac{W_{earth_{}}}{g_(earth)} \\ g_(earth)=9.81m/s^2 \\ On\text{ Jupiter} \\ g_{\text{Jupiter}}=24.8m/s^2 \\ W_{\text{Jupiter}}=mg_{\text{Jupiter}} \\ U\sin g\text{ m} \\ W_{\text{Jupiter}}=(\frac{W_{earth_{}}}{g_(earth)})g_{\text{Jupiter}} \\ Using\text{ the values} \\ W_{\text{Jupiter}}=(\frac{650N_{}}{9.81m/s^2}_{})(24.8m/s^2) \\ W_{\text{Jupiter}}=1643.2\text{ N} \\ \text{The weight on Jupiter is }1643.2\text{ N} \end{gathered}`
