What would be the weight of an object on jupiter if the object weighs 1.7 lb on mars? express your answer to two significant figures, and include the appropriate units?

Respuesta :

Weight of the object on the Jupiter would be 11.35 lb

We know that the gravity on the planet Mars is 3.711 m/s^2, and the gravity on the planet Jupiter is 24.79 m/s^2

To calculate the mass of the object on the planet Jupiter is

m'=(24.79/3.711)*1.7

=11.35 lb

Therefore the mass of the object on the Jupiter is 11.35 lb.

If an object weighs 1.7 lbs on mars, its weight on planet Jupiter will be 11.2984 lbs.

What is weight?

Weight can be defined as the force of attraction between an object and a planet. It is the product of the mass of the object and the acceleration due to gravity.

What is the mass of the object?

We know the weight of the object on planet mars, therefore, we need to calculate the mass of the object.

Given to us

Weight of the object on Mars = 1.7 lb = 7.5619767459 N

[tex]\text{Mass of the object }= \dfrac{\text{Weight of the object on Mars}}{\text{Acceleration due to gravity on Mars}}[/tex]

We know that the acceleration due to gravity on mars is equal to 3.7279 m/s².

[tex]\text{Mass of the object }= \dfrac{7.562}{3.73} = 2.027\rm\ kg[/tex]

What would be the weight of the object on Jupiter?

We already know the mass of the object, and the acceleration due to gravity on mars is equal to 24.79 m/s²,

[tex]{\text{Weight of the object on Jupiter}} = \text{Mass of the object } \times {\text{Acceleration due to gravity on Jupiter}}[/tex]

[tex]{\text{Weight of the object on Jupiter}} = 2.027 \times 24.79 = 50.258\rm\ N[/tex]

[tex]{\text{Weight of the object on Jupiter}} = 50.258\rm\ N = 11.2984\ lb[/tex]

Hence, If an object weighs 1.7 lbs on mars, its weight on planet Jupiter will be 11.2984 lbs.
