Question

Amani has a mass of 65 kg, she is unsure of her weight on Earth and on Jupiter. If acceleration due to gravity on Earth is 9.8 m/s2 and on Jupiter it is 25 m/s2, what is Amani’s weight on Earth and on Jupiter?

Answer 1

Weight=Force applied

Case-1:-

• Mass=65kg
• Acceleration=9.8m/s^2

$\\ \bullet\sf\leadsto Force=ma$

$\\ \bullet\sf\leadsto Force=65(9.8)$

$\\ \bullet\sf\leadsto Force=637N$

Case:-2

• Acceleration=25m/s^2.

$\\ \bullet\sf\leadsto Force=65(25)$

$\\ \bullet\sf\leadsto Force=1625N$

Answer 2

Earth = 65(9.8)

Jupiter = 65(25)
