Question

A spacecraft of mass 6000 kg lifts off the surface of Jupiter, where the acceleration due to gravity is 25 Newtons per kilogram (25 meters per second squared). What is the weight of the spacecraft on Jupiter?

Answer 1

Answer:

150000N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass  = 6000kg

Acceleration due to gravity  = 25m/s²

Unknown:

Weight of the spacecraft on Jupiter  = ?

Solution:

Weight is the vertical force on a body;

         Weight = mass x acceleration

     Weight  = 6000 x 25  = 150000N
