A lot of physics questions, please I really need help answering them

Jupiter has a mass of 1.90 x 1027 kg. the semi-major axis of its orbit is 7.78 x 1011. Th radius of the planet is 7.14 x 107 m. 
  • Io, one of jupiter's moons, orbits at a distance of 4.22 x 10m. If Jupiter attracts Io with a force of 4.90 x 1021 N, what is Io's mass?
  • if Io completes one orbit of Jupiter in 1.53 x 105 s, what is K for jupiter's moons? 
  • Ganymede, another of Jupiter's moons, orbits at a distance of 1.07 x 109 m. What is its period? 
  • What is the acceleration due to jupiter's gravity at jupiter's surface?
  • jupiter's closest approach to the earth is 5.90 x 1011 m away. At this distance, what force does Jupiter exert on the earth? 
  • When Jupiter is closest to the earth, what is the acceleration of the earth due to jupiter's gravity? 
  • When Jupiter is closest to the earth, what force does it exert on a 55.0 - kg person? 
 
Im sorry sorry for the long question guys but please help I really need these questions answered, just try to answer at least some of them THANKS
