Question

Weight of a body is 100N. The strength of the earth's gravitational field is 10 N / kg (G = 10 N / kg). What is the value of body weight? Will the mass of this body be greater on Jupiter? The strength of the gravitational field on Jupiter is approximately 25 N / kg. Circle the answer in which both statements are true.EXPLAIN YOUR ANSWER
a.)Body weight is 10 kilograms. The body will not have more mass on Jupiter.
b.)Body weight is 10 kilograms. The body will have more mass on Jupiter.

Answer 1

Answer:

Only the option (a) is correct

Explanation:

as mass can neither be created nor be destroyed.

hence mass of the body will be same on the jupiter as on the earth .

on the other hand

gravitational field strength is directly proportional to the gravitational acc. then if strength increase on jupiter then only weight of body increase bt mass remain const as gravitational acc. also increases

HENCE ONLY THE OPTION (A) IS CORRECT
