Question

Of all the planets in our solar system, Jupiter has the greatest gravitational strength.


a.If a 0.5 kg pair of running shoes would weigh 11.55 Newtons on Jupiter, what is the

strength of gravity there?


b. What does the pair of shoes weigh on earth?

plss answer both questions​

Answer 1

Answer:

(b) _____ around 2 pounds

Answer 2

Answer:

(a) 23.1m/s²

(b) 5N

Explanation:

(a) Mass of running shoes = 0.5kg

Weight of the shoes on Jupiter = 11.55N

∴ Gravitational strength (g) = F/m

= 11.55/0.5 = 23.1m/s²

(b) Mass of running shoes = 0.5kg

Gravitational strength of earth (g) = 10m/s² (9.8m/s²)

Weight of the shoes on earth = mg = 0.5 x 10 = 5N

Hope it helps! :)
