Question

The force of gravity on Jupiter is a little more than 2 times the gravitational force on Earth. If an object has a mass of 50 kg and a weight of 490 N on Earth, what would be the object's approximate mass and weight on Jupiter?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Mass on Jupiter = 50kg [ Mass remains constant everywhere in the universe]

Weight on Jupiter= mg

As g on Jupiter is 2×g on earth i.e. 2×9.8 =19.6m/s²

So weight on Jupiter= mg

= 50×19.6

= 980 N

OR

You can simply double the weight on Earth i.e.

490×2= 980N
