Question

Hi, I am new and I need your urgent help. I must return for this afternoon.
1° Determine the value of the weight on Jupiter of an object whose mass is m = 1200 g.
2) Determine the mass of an object whose weight on Jupiter is P = 15 N.
3) Recall what is the relationship between the weight P and the mass m of an object? Deduce the value of the intensity of
gravity on Jupiter. (1 pt)
4) Calculate what is the weight on Jupiter of an object whose mass is 4 kg.
5) What is the value of the intensity of gravity on Earth? Is the intensity of gravity the strongest
on Earth or on Jupiter? And how many times? (2 pts)

Answer 1

Answer:

The formula is: weight/mass = gravitational field strength. On Earth the gravitational field strength is 10 N/kg. Other planets have different gravitational field strengths. The Moon has a gravitational field strength of 1.6 N/kg.

Explanation:

There is no magic size or mass required for an object in order to have a 'satellite'. An 'orbit' occurs when the gravitational pull from a nearby object exactly matches the forward motion or momentum of the orbiting body. All objects (with mass) have gravity, however small they are.
