Question

NEED HELP PLS If you weigh 982 N on Earth, what would your weight be on the surface of Jupiter?

g = 9.8 m/s^2 on Earth's surface
g = 26.0 m/s^2 on Jupiter's surface
mass of the Earth is 6 x 1024 kg
mass of Jupiter is 1.9 x 1027 kg
radius of Earth is 6.4 x 106 m
radius of Jupiter is 7 x 107 m
Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Answer 1

2605 N

Step-by-step explanation:

`F_(Earth) = m g_(earth)`

`F_(Jupiter) = mg_(jupiter)`

`F_(Earth) = 982 N`

`982 N = m (9.8 m/s^2)\\`

`m = 982 N` ÷
`9.8 m/s^2`

`m = (4910)/(49)` kg

`F_(Jupiter) = (4910)/(49) * 26 m/s^2`

`F_(Jupiter) = 2605.30...` ≈ 2605 N
