1) Weight is mass times the acceleration of gravity, i.e. W=mg.
Solving for m, you get
m=W/g=613 N/(9.81 m/s2)=62.5 kg (3 sig figs)
2)On Jupiter g is given as 24.79 m/s2.
So W=mg =(62.5 kg)(24.79 m/s2)= 1550 N (3 sig figs)
Klaira S.
asked 11/07/22A person weighs 613 N on Earth.
1) What is their mass?
This person goes to Jupiter where gravity = 24.79 m/s².
2) What is their weight on Jupiter?
1) Weight is mass times the acceleration of gravity, i.e. W=mg.
Solving for m, you get
m=W/g=613 N/(9.81 m/s2)=62.5 kg (3 sig figs)
2)On Jupiter g is given as 24.79 m/s2.
So W=mg =(62.5 kg)(24.79 m/s2)= 1550 N (3 sig figs)
