Question

The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the planet Jupiter is 26.0 m/s2 and 0.61 m/s2 on the (former) planet Pluto. How much do you WEIGH on Jupiter and Pluto?

Answer 1

Answer:

The weight in Jupiter is  $W_J  = 2080 \ J  $

The weight in Pluto is    $W_p  =48.8 \ J  $

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  acceleration due to gravity in Jupitar is  $a_J =  26 .0 \  m/s^2$

   The acceleration due to gravity in Pluto is  $a_p  =  0.61 \  m/s^2$

   Generally let assume that the mass of the person is  m  =  80 kg

Generally the weight o the person in Jupiter will be

       $W_J  =  m *  a_J$

=>     $W_J  = 80   *  26 .0$

=>     $W_J  = 2080 \ J  $

Generally the weight o the person in Pluto will be

       $W_p  =  m  *  a_p$

=>     $W_p  = 80   *  0.61$

=>     $W_p  =48.8 \ J  $
